Democratic Debate

I just finished watching the Democratic youtube debate on CNN.

The best part of the night, was when they had some real yahoo on, who asked the candidates to talk about their opinions on guns, because he wanted to know that "his baby" was going to be safe. Then, he leaned over and picked up some kind of gigantic automatic, or, semi-automatic weapon and said "this is my baby."

And Joe Biden says "I'll tell ya, if that's his baby he's got problems." And then went on to state that the guy probably just disqualified himself from owning any kind of gun on account of mental instability. It was so great!

And, then this, which came as a big surprise to me.

If Hillary wins, she's picking Edwards as her running mate, and he's going to take the spot. After watching them tonight, I have no doubt.
 
Kinda what I figured. Clinton/Edwards. I figured either that or Clinton/Obama.
I did not watch the debate, had other more important things to do . Like napping before I work tonight.

That is pretty damn funny, I wish I saw it.
 
I loved that part with Biden and the gun (baby) too.

I didn't hear Hillary and Edwards decide about running mates.

Not the neos, the religious conservatives. Get your strains of conservative right, young man ;).

LOL, I wonder if anyone in Mississippi's going to run on a platform against the religious right? God. There's the right, the religious right, and the conservative populists in Mississippi. It's the exact opposite of my beliefs.

I'm going to send a letter to every business owner in San Fransisco saying: "Help! I'm trapped in Mississippi! Will work for food scraps."

It really was funny Cawacko, and they were all probably thinking it (I know I was, you had to see this guy), but few if any of the others would have said it. Maybe Gravel would have. But you know that Clinton, Obama and Edwards weren't going to touch it.

No, they didn't say anything, but did you watch them? Hillary was between Obama and Edwards, and whenever Obama talked (or anyone else), she was not nodding her head. Not at all. But nearly everytime Edwards spoke, she nodded her head along with what he was saying. I think he's her pick. If she wins.

That's awesome. But too bad I had to write him off months ago.

I think Edwards was on fire last night.

I especially like the part, where Hillary, Obama and others were blathering on about the need to come together and find bipartisan solutions. And Edwards responded: screw that. We need somebody who will stand up and do the right thing, by standing up against big pharma and big corporate special interests -- that we needed someone who stands up for working people.

No, Biden was funny. The dude with the youtube video looked like an insane asshole. I couldn't tell what kind of rifle he was snuggling with like it was "his baby", but it looked like an automatic assualt rifle.

LOL - yeah, whats up with the kumbaya stuff? I has some doubt that Edwards was a heart-felt populist until last night. He solidified his populist street cred with me last night.

He was good. I haven't counted him out yet. When you look at the polling in the early primary states, there's no reason to count him out.

Yes. Last polls I looked at, Edwards was leading in Iowa. Its those state polls that matter, more than national polls. I saw some fire and passion there in Edwards, that I don't see in obama/clinton/richardson.
 
Edward's "Hair" commercial was brilliant.

I thought he'd be one of the leaders at this point, but the right-wing smear machine got the job done on him, which is unfortunate, because - for my money - he's the best candidate out there.

Even last night, Dick Morris trotted out the predictable "snake oil salesman" about Edwards on "Hannity & Colmes". When Colmes challenged him on it, he was like "C'mon, Alan - he lives in a 30,000 square foot home & talks about poverty."

Not a heckuva lot is ever going to get done on poverty if anyone with money is prohibited from discussing the issue.
 
"C'mon, Alan - he lives in a 30,000 square foot home & talks about poverty."

I don't have any idea why haircuts and fancy houses disqualifies one from being serious and substantive on economic fairness issues.
 
Maybe someone should tell Bill & Melinda Gates that they really have no right to be addressing poverty, because they're so rich and have such a big house. Dick Morris should hop right on that one...
