Yeah, I know…. but in some states the Dems and Repubs work together much better than they do at the national level.

Not here in Pennsylvania. It’s always a blood bath, just like at the national level.

Not perfect, but that’s just the nature of politics.

Of course. It’s a shame that a truly great candidate like John Edwards (just like Bill Bradley in 2000, and Wesley Clark in 2004), gets sidelined for Hillary Clinton, who I think is simply all of the bad aspects of her husband with none of the good ones. Obama would be good and seems to posess a magic political touch, but I still think that 2012 is the year for him.

Still, I always thought that the primary system is screwed up. By the time it gets to Pennsylvania, it’ll be a finished and done deal. I think they should have the elections all on the same day…just like the general election. That way most everyone’s vote will have some significance.

When will the American public learn?

I’m not a Biden supporter (but not against him, either) but I thought this was one of his better debates.

I was interested in seeing how Obama would perform in his new “aggressive” mode against Hillary. He was definitely trying on the mantle to see how it fit and it definitely needs some nips and tucks. But whoever the eventual Democractic candidate is, they will need lots of practice with this for the general election. With such an unpopular Republican Prez i office and the state of the union being what it is, the Republican candidates feel threatened and desperately want to hold on to power. The Republicans will be particularly more vicious in going after their Dem. opponent.

Speaking of which, it will be interesting to see how ferocious the Republicans will be toward a new Dem. Prez. (assuming the next Prez is a Dem). I bet the Republicans will really go after him/her with everything they have. Instead everyone (Dem. and Repub.) should be concentrating on working with the new administration and repairing the damage of the last few years.

John Edwards sees her for the phony she is, and can answer difficult complex questions, can take the heat, and clearly understands the working class’s needs. He is not simply a Republican Lite like she is. Her health care plan puts unrestricted “freedoms” on the health insurance company (i.e. they can still charge you sky-high prices and screw you), whereas Edwards is going to give them hell. She has no vision for the future, whereas he does. She will leave the White House just as divided as it is now, whereas Edwards will unite it. He proposes massive reform, she proposes maintaining the status quo.

It’s clear who’s better for the American public and who I’m voting for. Go Edwards!
