Yes. She refuses to engage on drivers licenses.

So he answers it for her.
uh-oh, H scoring some points with immigration
Blitzer is doing a good job trying to get the draw the distinct line. Obama is ducking. If he means Hillary when he makes references about people failing to do this or that, he shoulod say it. That's not "attacking."
So my wireless clonked out at about a quarter of an hour before the debate started.. got back online just 10 mins ago. How's it going so far?

It's been tame so far. No real attacks. Obama is ahead on funny jokes 2 to 0.

ooh, driver's license follow up punctured that a bit though
oooh!
political!
I'm watching the channel on CNN.com that shows the immediate reaction of the audience by the way, and they love Hillary.. Obama stayed at about 50-60 throughout his whole immigration + drive licenses answer, Hillary moved up to 70+ with the line about not criminalising the Good Samaritans and stayed there.
And the line dropped drastically as soon as Obama started attacking her on changing her opinion just now. Down to 50 and staying there throughout.
Both for amnesty big time. And who knows how many answers on drivers licenses?
Healthcare: Tied
Immigration: Clinton

OK, thanks - looks like it. I mean, tame.

Bloody distracting tho.
Oh, and of course now that I can actually watch, they have a break. Hmph.
Health care partially paid for by hiring dieticians and computerizing records.
Yeah, the changing her mind thing was good. Obama scored some larger points there, about triangulation vs. conviction, that sort of thing.
Overall I think Obama is doing really well. He's being allowed to give deeper answers which he's always more comfortable with. And experience and character are coming up next... those should be good!!

His "deeper answers" sometime tend to meander, and lack a point.
Obama consistently refusing to criticize Hillary, always pivots back to making his own case. Boring, but smart.
(But that bloody line is not budging. Perhaps its his delivery? Well, anyhow, with the momentum he's got going, his task is to not lose.)
