Now THAT was a debate!
Not one of these tendentious joint-press conferences masquerading as a debate, but a real debate. There was exchange between the candidates, a streamlined number of participants (no 1% fringe candidates in the way) and spontaneity.

1. I rather enjoyed it!
That Mittens was having a heck of a time, keeping that wretched smirk in check.

3. I don't know if I would call it a debate as
I didn't see anyone credible saying anything which made sense....

9/11, terrists, oil profits, taxes, health care....not one new idea from anyone and the 'discussion' which took place....Laughable!

15. I liked this format.
I am for Hillary but if I was a repuke I'd vote for Romney. He could hardly get a word in without getting interrupted. The smart repuke ticket is Romney/Huckabee. They are not smart so it will never happen.

Our smart ticket is Clinton/Obama or Clinton/Biden. I like what John Edwards is saying and he delivers it well but I am having a hard time liking him because of how much he dismisses Hillary as unimportant. It is just how I feel. It is not reasonable. It is just as unreasonable as the anti-Hillary crowd feel about my candidate. It is something about him I just do not like. It is sad that we have turned the election of the President into a who do you like contest, instead of who can do the best job.

If John Edwards is the nominee, I will vote for him because I know he is better than any repuke.

Let's stay positive and vote for Hillary.
