AHC: Favorite primary debates?

Which are your favorite presidential primary debates? Since this is mostly historical, I put them in here instead of Chat. For me...

Democratic

RFK-McCarthy '68: I love the "economic apartheid" and "you say you are going to take 10,000 blacks and move them into Orange County?" Livened up an otherwise deadly boring debate. You can guess who said what, and who was judged by 70% of voters to have won. Same senator.

Hillary-Obama '08: Hillary kicked his ass each and every time. My favorite moment was when she said "change is more than a speech you give."

Republican

Reagan-Bush '80: "I'm paying for this microphone Mr. Green!"

McCain-Bush '00: "Get your fucking hands off me!"- McCain to Bush. :D
 
I agree with you on Hillary Obama. Those debates made me wish I had voted Clinton instead of Obama. She came across as a stronger candidate in the debates than he did. I voted Obama in the primaries largely because Clinton's "I'm the nominee-none of this matters." message offended me. If I remember correctly there was at least one debate after the Illinois primary. But it could just be my memory playing tricks on me. Then again, Obama was always going to win Illinois in the primaries, whatever else happened.
