CITIZEN ALERT v1.215
DEMOCRATIC DEBATE

Quick run down review of the debate.

Biden again was the straight talker - telling it like it is. I thought he knocked it out of the park more than a few times.

Obama did well, but still is Mr. Vague when he talks about issues. Not as much as he was last debate, but it's still there. He's learning.

Hillary did as well as she usually does. No worse. No better. Which probably still leaves her out front.

Gravel and Kucinich were ostracized to outer realms of the screen. I couldn't believe Kucinich said he wouldn't assassinate Osama Bin Laden and he wanted to eliminate ALL nuclear weapons. Man, that guy has guts! I love him! He pretty much nailed the coffin shut though on his campaign with those answers, but wow! I like a peace candidate who's unwavering and that Osama question was designed to trap Kucinich plain and simple. Instead of back pedaling he walked proudly straight into it with no regrets. That's a leader. Still no chance in hell though. :)

I thought everyone did a good job at sticking together and not splintering the party right there on stage. Obama had the great line about the English language question being designed to divide them. It was a stupid question about a stupid issue. And I hand it to Clinton for stepping in and going at it on the legal angle explaining the difference between a national language and an "official language".

So far on the CNN site, the after debate poll shows viewers voting Clinton the winner of the debate, and then voting Biden as the one who knew most about the issues. This is how stupid some people are. The admittedly most intelligent person doesn't win the debate. Come on!
