I watched the Democratic debate last night. Interesting stuff. I like John Edwards, but then, I have liked him since he ran in '04. He's calm, rational, and he answers questions directly and clearly, not that politcal question-dodging that I see time and time again. I really, really like him. I really hope he wins the primaries.
Obama was pretty good too for the same reasons, though not quite as much as Edwards. I am not Hillary Clinton's biggest fan. I don't like her too much, her past voting record is suspicious, and in the debate it was quite clear she has very little experience. That being said, despite her voting record in the past, she vowed (like just about every other Dem) that in the first 100 days she'd end the Iraq war (debacle?), so if she were to win the primary elections, she would get my vote nonetheless. I am a huge fan of her husband, but she lacks his charisma and, mmm, I don't know. SOMETHING. When I think of the Clinton years, I think of a time of relative peace... I want that back so bad.
So, yeah, interesting. I love these debates, looking forward to the next one. I really want my vote to count this year, I want to really look at all of the candidates. It's important we get someone that can actually WIN, but we need someone who knows what they're doing - I still think John Edwards would be the best man for the job.
I don't think Hillary or Obama can win the presidency, our society is TOO racist, TOO sexist, to let that happen, and it's a damn shame. I would love to see the first woman or black president in my lifetime, it would be amazing! But I'd pick Obama over Clinton any day.
