More of the debate this time focused on the real questions that voters have to consider. Barck Obama made his case that he has a better track record of showing 'good judgement' when it counts, and he rejected shallow notions of 'change' promoted by the other candidates. By questioning the widom in always following 'conventional wisdom' he signals a desire for change in Washington that goes beyond the cosmetic. Edwards argued that the way to achieve that real change is not by 'sitting down at the table with Republicans.' He promotes a more confrontational strategy to change. Chriss Dodd agreed with Obama's strategy for change but argues that he has more experience in Washington and would be better able than Obama to succeed with that strategy. Hillary Clinton repeated her mantra that she is the most “experienced” candidate and as such will be the best agent for change, yet she has no vision of exactly what sort of change she is talking about.
