The "Democratic Debate" was really a forum. It reminded me of a championship fight in the first round where the boxers come out and spar, throw a few punches and go back to their corner. Gravel, recognizing US human rights violations, vowing to end "The War on Everyone" syndrome, and Kucinich with his reasoning for impeaching Cheney impressed me the most. Too bad they'll be gone soon!
Kucinich? Are you kidding me? The man is an empty-headed, partisan bomb thrower, with no real plan for any of the nation's major issues at all. The man who impressed me the most is Richardson from New Mexico. He seems to be a genuine moderate. But unfortunately, because of the money and name recognition game, it's Obama or Hillary. Two people who have done nothing other than trip over themselves trying to avoid mistakes and controversy. Oh, how I weep for our Republic...
Actually, I would prefer Clinton or Richardson. Though Clinton tippie-toes too much, I think she's become a moderate-- political life tends to do that over time. And Richardson, DAMN, there's a man I'd like to see win. Ugh... too bad he's not better funded and from a big state. ~String
