Another Democratic Debate

Last nite in the city of Lost Wages 7 dem candidates got together for yet another debate. I watched and was a bit surprised. The closer we get to the primaries the more they ratch up the politics of debate. This time there was good exchanges. The only problem I saw was that CNN seem to favor the frontrunners and did not give Biden and Kucinich as much front time as the others.

Here is how I saw the debate:

Clinton--she was on her game--no slips as before--well rehearsed.

Obama--He seem to wake up and do some minor attacks on policies of Clinton and the others. He was deliberate and well rehearsed. Took on Clinton and did fairly well.

Edwards--still the attack dog, especially Clinton and her policies--he is beginning to look desparate.

Biden--Confrontational, strong on foreign policy, especially Iran--made good points.

Richardson--was on his game well for this--strong on environment, foreign policy, vet position and on immigration.

Dodd--Good, articulate and inform, but still no fire.

Kucinich--almost totally ignored, when asked question--no hestitation, attack all other candidates policies and was confrontational when given the chance.

Now , who won the debate? remember this is my personal opinion and do not endorse anyone of them in this process. And the winner was---Richardson. He was straight forward had answer to all questions and even added the vets into the mix. Second was Biden--he punched holes in almost everyone's foreign policy position. Spoke with authority and a bit of passion. Tied for third is Obama/Clinton--they gave their canned responses to questions that needed more. And then the rest--Kucinich did not have a chance to shine, which he probably would have; Dodd is a great guy, but no fire; and Edwards, IMO, he just looks too damn desparate.

I know this will not jive with the media, but the media has already picked its favs; I on the other hand, go by what they say and how they say it.

I am CHUQ and I have approved this message and I guarantee that it is not terror related.
