Schoolin' Obama (and the others)

did you guys see the CNN/youtube debate last night? there was some serious schoolin' goin' on by my hillary. she is just so much more polished and knowledgeable than the other candidates.

don't get me wrong... i adore my democratic field. i read 'the audacity of hope' and i really like obama. and i love that he's getting people excited. i've been a longtime fan of biden.... and back in 2004 i was telling my friend about richardson. "we need a governor," i said. "there's this great guy that's the governor of new mexico that i like a lot."

but i'm crazy-silly about hillary. my hand to the god i don't believe in - she makes me cry i get so excited about her.

so i've been reading all the post debate analysis and the general consensus is that hillary won. (except roger simon of politico who's "accurate to three decimal places" scoring system puts edwards ahead of hillary just slightly.)

the minute-by-minute analysis by cnn had this to say about what i found to be the standout answer of the evening:

Obama promises to meet Castro, Chavez, Kim and other dictators in his first year in office.

Clinton refuses to promise, and takes the opportunity to school him:

"It is not that you promise a meeting at that high a level until you know what the intentions are ... I do not want to be used for propaganda purposes," she says. "We’re not just going to have our president meet with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez ... until we know what the way forward would be."

and on the question of whether anyone has a problem with 24 years (if hillary is elected) of bush/clinton/bush/clinton? hillary's response:

"I think it is a problem that Bush was elected in 2000. I actually thought somebody else was elected in that election. Of course I am running on my own merits, but I’m very proud of my husband’s record as President of the United States."

love her....

now, i thought edwards' youtube video was the best. you can watch it hair, i mean here, if you missed it: http://johnedwards.com/watch/hair/

brilliant, really.

i greatly admire biden's honesty. he is speaking the truth - as much as the far left is craving red meat and immediate withdrawal. biden knows his shit and ain't afriad of no smackdown. hell, he called a gun-toting nut out on national television! of course, we all know biden's hoping for a secretary of state post under a clinton presidency. i'm all for it!

gravel.....bless him..... he's just too much fun. but what a kook! great for a laugh, but we gotta get him out of future debates. (does that sound bad...?)

i could probably go on and on..... but i think i'll stop here. i mean, i'm supposed to be working, ya know.

peace.
