Last night was the beginning of a wonderful event in politics.... "The fake debates".
As I watched last night a couple of things came to mind.
1. Clinton, Obama, and Biden were for the most part strong throughout the process.
2. I want Mike Gravel at every debate and he must get more questions and air time. Then get his own show and I would watch.
3. John Edwards looked so pretty last night I thought he was posing for GQ not running for President. Not to mention he long pause as he looked toward God when they asked who is moral leader was. I though he was expecting God to come down and say" Oh that is me Brain, John looks up to me."
4. Bill Ricardson did a poor job overall. Too much hand movement and body movement. At times long winded and overextending his time. He needs to fine tune for the next debate.
5. Why were people in the audience fanning themselves with their programs? You would think a large great college like that would have the AC on?
6. If anyone gained or lost undecided people it would look like this for each......
1. Gravel: gained.... Why well if he went from 2 votes to 4 he still gets my vote as most entertaining and needs a position in the next administration anyway.
2. Dennis K: neither... People are still being introduced to him.(Eddie Monster look-alike)
3. Clinton: gained... She played the rhetoric card at times and gave minor details other times. Very poised, presidential and avoided some pitfalls.
4.Obama: gained.... Also appeared Presidential and covered the Palestine question well with a good answer to Mr. MSNBC.
5. Chris D: neither... Did not stand out kinda maintained the status quo. Any guy with white hair and black eyebrows always scares me too.
6. Joe Biden: gained.... May become inmy mind a top tier candidate down the line if he plays his cards right despite not having the mega bucks
7. Edwards: lost: He reminded me of the time he and VP Cheney had a debate. He looked soft and eeds to be more assertive. this is the kind of style Republicans claim we will have when dealing with terrorism. Did take a shot or two at Clinton for what it was worth.
8. Bill Richardson: lost.... Too much hand and body movement. Seemed to be reaching for answers. Was the candidate the answered around the questions the most. Not good considering he will be VP if Clinton gets the nod in my opinion.
So that is what I think. Can not wait for the "Dark Side" debates in California soon.
