Did anyone watch the New Hamshire debates? It was awesome... both the democrats and rebublicans were there.
Hillary Clinton showed her true colors - she tried to get Obama and Edwards to attack each other by quoting Obama saying bad things about Edwards and vice versa. Her plan backfired because they just bonded together against her and criticized her for misquoting and misusing information. That was great.
Edwards is VERY passionate about becoming president - you can tell when he talks. He wants the job not for money or fame, but to really help the middle class. (He grew up in a bad enviornment, really poor, and he wants to keep that from happening to others). He's not too experienced though.
Obama is very straightforward and methodical - he's still passionate, but focuses less on emotion and more on getting things done. He's more experienced, and knows what he's doing. Very straightforward as well. He'll make a great president.
Clinton - she's SLY. she's your stereotypical politician - will spend 5 minutes answering a question without really answering it. She's emotionless and very cold. She'll do whatever it takes to reach the top, no matter what it takes. But if she's president, she's got Bill Clinton to back her up.
Richardson - he is gonna LOSE. He's neither sly nor to the point. He doesn't know how to answer a question. he embarassed himself really badly by going on that stage. The only qualifications he has for president are that he used to be the Secretary of Energy and governor of New Mexico. Every time it was his turn to talk, I changed the channel to football.
Hm... well, that's what i think. For those of you who watched it, what do you think? For those of you who didn't, who are you rooting for?

Hey, great article! Although I didn't watch the debate, that kind of helped me understand what's up for 2008... You seem to be leaning towards the Democrats though. Is it just me or did they really make a good argument?

hm... i suppose i'd be leaning toward the Democrats because i watched mostly the democrats' debate. they did make a good argument, but i can't compare it to the republicans' argument. I do favor them, though. i think obama should be president, and edwards should be VP.

Most women are in favor of Hilary, and they don't usually care if they are competent or not, because she will be "the first woman president"? Most people are too stupid to decide anyways; all a canidate has to do is to something like the below:

Um... Family Guy isn't exactly the most realistic representation of politicians, but I think we get the general idea. I think I'll stay off to the sidelines and remain neutral for now.

cathy, u forgot huckabee!!! =(
lol oh well.
and there r no real conservatives running this year so idc about the elections we're screwed.
oprah supports obama so that'll give him a boost cuz a huge part of voters r made up of undecided, stay-at-home moms who worship oprah.
