Democratic Debate Tonite

[Miss Kitty]

Willie is slick, but I'd disagree about Hillary being slick. She is more like sandpaper -- very easy to see her awkwardness as she lies and flails around like a fish on dry land. Willie would tell a story and you (the public) believed him. Hillary tells a story and you question her because you know she doesn't believe it herself.


I think I'm pretty good at reading people, and I get only bad vibes from Hillary Rotten Clinton.

Point taken...but I ask you this...who's leading ;-) and why do you think she is?

I missed the debate due to a meeting, (TIVO is on my holiday wish list) but I just wanted to give props to Kristi for not using props in her summary of the debate. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Goofer, I am in the same camp as you when it comes to HRC which says a lot since we are both born and bred NYers.
Frankly I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the last debate where she foibbled wasn't an attempt to garner sympathy points or exposure from woman who may have been hedging support of her, and then try to make it appear she was the comeback queen this debate.

I'm not sure that we can rely on a poll to tell us who is in the lead. Have you ever wondered how a newly released book could be released from the publisher as a "#1 Best Seller" list? If it hasn't sold a single copy to the public who will be reading it, how could it be at the top of the best selling list? Same with the polls. If only the parties who support Hillary (see stacked audience comments about last night's debate), are running the polls, how could they ever say that Obama was in the lead, unless it was due to the front runner never winning the election?

Elections seem much like a NASCAR race to me. The candidates are all sponsored by businesses (but at least NASCAR lets us know exactly who those sponsors are), they go round and round in circles, rehashing the same old emotional issues, but ending up at the same place, all while jockeying for position, hoping to get help from another team member running the race.
