The Last Democratic Debate

Finally! The last debate of the year....may I have an amen! The last dem debate was a well done one with all candidates giving ample time and really nothing new. A few zingers, but most stayed on message. The only loser was Dennis Kucinich because he was not allowed to participate. That was the only low point, since the whack job Keyes was allowed to participate on the Repub side, but that is another story.....I am sure. Everyone was polite and civil, no attacks, direct attacks.

Okay, let us look at the candidates:

Clinton--not much new....she was on message....the only problem was she wants to reform NAFTA. She was cool and comfortable.

Obama--he also was on message.....he was also calm, confident and collected...but nothing new.

Edwards--still strong on people power...he was confident and clear.

Dodd--Look good and spoke with authority.

Biden--Definately calm, cool, and confident spoke with authority.

Richardson--He was adequate...spoke with confidence...only one to link Iraq with the economy...a positive point. Good on environmental responses.

No movement in the polls will be seen as a result of this debate...all candidates were on their message...no screw ups...all had excellent answers...No real winner and no real loser. Biden would get my vote for the way he handles the questions hurdled at him.

We, political geeks and addictions, can now sleep at night without worrying about another debate looming on the horizon.

May the force be with you!
