It's going to allow his rivals to feed off a lot of perceptions about what Michelle Obama said about her lack of pride in America until this campaign and other statements.

I think if he acts aggressively, as he did tonight to address it, and then moves on, Anderson, because we have spent our whole week on all these kind of issues.

I think he should be given the benefit of the doubt on that, Anderson.

I want to salute Mary Berry for her -- Mary's been an enormous advocate for civil rights in the country, so I respect her view.

It is intended. It's very clearly intended to diminish the candidacy of Barack Obama, and it was offensive because it was injecting race as a way to diminish him.

I think two things can be said about -- in a positive way about Geraldine Ferraro. First, she has also said about herself that she would not have been the vice presidential candidate, had she not been a woman.

I think it brings race and gender to the front of the conversation where -- and you know, I think it is very distracting.

I think Barack Obama had every reason to go after these comments, because they're so reminiscent of what we were hearing just after New Hampshire and going into the South Carolina primary.

If someone had said about Hillary Clinton, you know, 'If she weren't a woman, she wouldn't be here,' people in the Clinton camp would have clearly taken offense at that.

The comments from Geraldine Ferraro are highly offensive, inappropriate, and should be ruled out of bounds.

It is true of national campaigns. But we haven't had as much race and gender as we have had in this one.

I think he needs to use this time to be creative and speak to the country in deeper ways about where he's going and what his vision is for the presidency.

I think Pennsylvania is very different from Iowa. Iowa, that was not a good state for her. ... Pennsylvania is a great state for her. She's going to win Pennsylvania.

It should be a concern if this ends up being a very fractious conclusion to who gets the nomination.

I think we're moving towards re-do's in both states.

If Hillary Clinton were to come in within less than 10 points, that would be seen as a moral victory for her.

I think it's a very good chance it is, Anderson. Even if Florida and Michigan do redo, as we talked about earlier, and I think we'll have that. There's still a possibility that neither candidate will be close enough with pledged delegates…

But Barack Obama is favored to win a number of the other remaining primaries.

I think there's a very good chance it is, Anderson. Even if Florida and Michigan do redo, as we talked about earlier, and I think we'll have that. There's still a possibility that neither candidate will be close enough with pledged…

He's got to come back. Can he do that? Yes. I think he's got it in him, but he's got to be a lot tougher and more aggressive than he was today.

I don't think he's been particularly strong in the two days since Tuesday night.

He's going to have to get up off the mat and show the same kind of fight that she did when she went down.

On the other hand, if you do it -- the redos, you have got all these financial questions.

It matters because Hillary Clinton did so well on Tuesday night, winning three out of four, and it now becomes apparent that she's a strong favorite.

They're going to make a big difference to the super delegates, the Democrats, who's ahead.
