well... over the past 6 months, i've given $$$ to 2 of the candidates on the panel tonight. (it had been 3, but Biden dropped out)
I want my money back from one of them up there tonight.
Frigging Edwards. not for nothing, i think that he's totally kissing Barack's ass so that he's tapped for ANOTHER Vice Presidential candidacy. Clinton was backing Edwards earlier in the debate and then he totally turned on her with his buddy Barack and their "change" bullshit... and the "status quo" rhetoric/drivel that he's been yapping about. Not to mention that he said "Senator Obama and I came in First and seond respectively" (in the Iowa caucus) ---- dude, you farking tanked compared to obama -- and were only a few points over Senator Clinton. Jeezuz.
I want Hillary to tear Barack a new arse.
Richardson, who rarely gets a chance to speak, is a good egg and I'd like to see him be Clinton's VP runningmate.
As far as ABC... what the hell's up with their playing of news clips?!?! come on with that.
And Charlie Gibson, what the hay!? Why are you letting Obama speak for 3 minutes at a clip and yet when Richardson starts to speak you barely give him 30 seconds??!!?
--- oh nice. scott spradling the fella asking Qs in the last half just said to her "one couldn't help but notice that you were being double-teamed earlier".
and she's right... SHE would be a change. A woman in the white house. yes. that WILL BE A CHANGE - FOR THE BETTER. sure, barack can say he'd be the first african-american in the white house, that's all well and good too, but, not for nothing, I have a uterus and I want my president to have one as well.
Whatchoosayin'?? (4 yapped)
I liked Edwards tonight - I definitely want a president who is focused on saving/preserving the middle class, and I like that he's so passionate about it. I also REALLY like that he is not indebted to special interests.
I won't vote for Hillary b/c I think she's too divisive. Thought she did relatively well tonight - better than in some of the other debates.
I like Obama, but one thing I'd really like to know is who his running mate would be - his idealism tempered with the experience of someone like Richardson could be a really good combination.
I love how the pundits barely even mention Richardson - I suppose he's really running for VP at this point.
Yeah, still not sure who I'll be voting for on Super Tuesday. I guess we'll see who's still in it at that point.

Ann Coulter's a woman, too, but I'm sure you wouldn't want to vote for her just to put a woman in the White House, right? I personally wouldn't vote against any candidate based on gender or race, but I wouldn't vote FOR any candidate just for either of those reasons. The presidency isn't an affirmative action hire.
I'll tell you what, though: If Hillary does come back and win, I wouldn't want to be a resident of Dixville Notch, NH, which blanked her in today's voting. That would be the likely future site of the Hillary Clinton National Nuclear Waste Storage Facility. Hillary has a long memory for slights.
[note from GC: Ann Coulter is not a woman. She is an asexual skank.]

Wow we certainly have some horrible choices this election , wheter one is democrat or republican the only CORRECT choice seems to be the lil box that says none of the above . WE all know why oprah is throwing her hat in obamas corner dont take rocket science there , But with his voting record one cannot go with oabma he says he didnt vote for the war and he is correct but then again he didnt for for it either , do we really want a president that cant make a desicion . He denies being muslem but how can he evade that with a middle name of hussien and his first years in school were at a terrorist backed school . Ameren was screwing the people of illnios over with increasing our power bills 300 percent , where was obama certainly not in illinois he was off campaigning instead .
Hillory and her health care idea one which she has beem trying to shove down our necks since her husbands last term in office . why ?/ the answer is follow the dollar signs ! While big oil maybe contributors to the republican party one can see easily that big insurence is a major contributor to the demcrat party . Ther are certain words common with each candidate regarding health care that should make us all afraid very afraid . Insurence avilable for all citizens , AFFORDABLE , what is affordable for people living on a senators salary and the common cictizen are two very diffrent things indeed ! REQUIRED ahh now this is an insurence companies wet dream , make no mistake here insurence will rate everyone since they are having to take the good and bad risks lumped together . If you happen to be 20 years old and in perfect health and male it will be a good rate but now if you get older or have diseases like diabetes or haert conditions or a female of child bearing age you will pay dearly for that coverage and it will increase drastically as you get older . This is a nigtmare that can never be allowed to come to pass . Furthermore we have the issue of NAFTA which is due to expire in the next presendncy do you think HILLORY would kill her husbands pet project ? Can we afford to lose many more jobs because of bil clinton signing the nafta treaty ? JUst a lil point of interest the success of the bill clinton presendentcy wasnt due to bill but instaed due to the congress being controlled by the republicans .
So if you vote demcrat for congress then dont be stupid and vote democrat for president we have to have checks and balances
Many people vote simply on what is happening in their personal lives has to be the presidents fault right ? VOTE WITH YOUR HEADS engage the brain . Sure we are in an unpopular war right now and have high gas prices but will that change , nope ! The islamic threat is very real and will be with us for generations to come .
