Political Roundtable: News, Opinion and Commentary

the debate was beautiful tonight. that’s what you get when there’s a woman candidate: peace and harmony, a lovefest! who should be upset about that? it’s a preview for the state of the world under her leadership!

regarding the ‘who’s a better speaker’ issue… judging by tonight’s debate it was a clear victory on all counts. she was quick, smooth, and didn’t stutter as much… (hey, he’s still a great guy). and i’m always amazed at how detailed her policy descriptions are, that’s knowledge you can only get through experience… which we all know is the best teacher. now all i have to do is get a new license so i can vote in the primaries!

Tonight at the Democratic debates in Los Angeles, it was a two candidate affair as John Edwards was obviously absent and Mike Gravel was not invited (why is he still running anyways?). However, the heated exchanges that were supposed to characterize the debate between the two formerly bickering front-runners never came. They actually even discussed (click on “Dream ticket”) running with each other and highlighted that they are extremely similar on the issues. Although, their biggest differences come in their healthcare plans; Hillary wants to mandate coverage for everyone, Obama wants to ensure that everyone that wants healthcare can get it, but will not require it. It was refreshing to see these two act like adults and this type of vibe (click on “post debate pleasantries”) will definitely help the Democratic Party come November.
