Oops!

The clause below "but that the trade-off will be worth it" should read "but THINK taht the trade-off will be worth it" :)

I''ll agree that Hillary kicked the competition''s butt last night, but she lied to do it. Obama''s tax increase does not add up to $1trillion worth of revenue, and she had to have known that. Her plan DOES NOT ensure the welfare of social security either, so she also lied about protecting the interests of the middle class.

I think if you vote cognizant of the fact that her primary interest going into the White House will be to ensure that she is able to get re-elected 4 years later, but that the trade-off will be worth it because she''s a woman who''ll increase the level of respect men have for women you might end up disappointed in that department too.

Not saying the alternatives are much better, but I think it''s important to be realistic about HOW her ''wins'' in these debates are being achieved.

Senator Clinton took her opponents out and there is no doubt they knew it from the look of on Obama face which made him look like a little spoiled kid who did get his way and Edwards pure pansy who just got punch and whose dirty little play book came up empty for him. I was pleased that she was gracious and deadly but did not take the WWW republican political punditry that brought you the machismo politics of Bush Cheney an approach advocated by those ratings loser like Wolf and Russert but still deftly slitting the whinny Edwards political throat, Edwards bad Hillary she acts like a politicians but I am almost almost pure as snow bunk look desperate and weak, whah whah whah whah my guess she just ran him out of the race which is good for Dems in general he has not benefited the party and is little more than a token Southerner. Obama is looking more and more well not deep, he has a problem writing his own material it would seem if its not a one liner. Biden fun and capable but not Presidential, Kucinich seems odd.

I say.....Clinton/Biden or Biden/Clinton.
They are the only ones that have the intelingence and the power to lead this country.

You said the world will not respect a woman as the leader of a country....
Do you really believe the world respect us with our current president (may i remind you our leader is a man?)

Joe Biden Joe Biden Joe Biden Joe Biden on everyone issue his insight is unmatched. The clarity of his answers unparalleled. Campaign slogan for Biden in the general election. "I AGREE WITH JOE". It will rank right up there with "I Like Ike".

I watched the debate and while Edwards is my candidate I was proud of Hillary. She can more than take her part and demonstrated this last night.

John Edwards is just my guy. He says the things I want to hear and he is believable.

Obama says the things you want to hear but is NOT believable

I agree. The debate looked like th ultimate scam and it was pathetic that the male candidates were refrred to as "boys" I would like a "man" to lead not a "boy" I certainly don''t want a "woman" as most foreing countries will not respect a woman who cannot lead a country. We will be doomed if Clinton wins!

"The whole debate was a big scam. This was delibrately staged perhaps to make Hillary look good..."

What, like the last debate was couched to make her look bad? Can''t have it both ways. I remember questions in the last debate like ''what are you going to dress up like for Halloween.''

Hillary did a great job. I agree about Biden, who has a tremendous experience promulgating bi-partisan legislation. I find it hard to believe that Edwards and Obama are top contenders above him.

Obama doesn''t do well in debates. He fires up in prepared speeches, but fumbles extenporaneously. Edwards shrillness comes off like junior high school. He can''t ride his own record, so he tears down everybody elses. His record goes with the flow, and his hedgefund contributors leave him wide open when criticizing for lobby dollars.

Go Hillary! Go Joe!
