Non Sequitur I don't know if you watched the same televised CNN debate as I did, and I'm even in Asia and not an American. It seems to me that Hillary was more articulate and substantive in her answers while Obama dished out the same rhetorical sound bytes, and you picked up on that. I'm impressed at how sharp your hearing is but, what a waste of brain cells. At times during the debate, I couldn't even stand following Obama's statements-cum-arguments as they are too self-serving, which for me comes across as juvenile and arrogant. I'd rather go with a leader who is prepared rather than someone who claims to be “right on Day 1.”

Debate night Hillary may have the one liner but Obama made the point. The Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton connection is alive and well despite Hillary's sly denials. She voted with Bush on the war period.

As a survivor of the 90's we enjoyed the dot com boom (and eventual bust) but had to endure embarrassing scandals and bouts of corruption. Bill was impeached for lying under oath. This period began the most divisive period in politics the US has possibly ever seen. The battles continued into Bush's disastrous terms. Tonight Hillary noted that Bill bombed Iraq in 1998, which as I recall landed on an aspirin factory. So Bill, Hillary, GeorgeW and H are on the same page.

Obama/Edwards is the winning dream ticket and they won't spend our time paying back corporations and special interest groups who finance Hillary's campaign. It will take Obama to clean up after the Clintons and Bushs. Obama would make America proud.

Obama was right in 2002 But in 2005, 2006 and 2007 he decided to sit back and let others do the heavy lifting on actually bringing the war to an end.

Given his very cautious voting record in the Senate--identical to Clinton's on the Iraq issue--I am far from convinced that he would have actually voted against the AUMF if he'd been in the Senate at the time. He talked about being against Iraq War supplemental funding bills when he was running for the Senate, but after getting elected voted for several in a row.

out of curiosity Has there been any debate in the past year that you did not declare a win for Obama?

Just wondering.
