The first few minutes of the Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas featured clashes between the top three candidates/prospects/suspects — Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards — over Social Security, Iran and telling the truth.
The rest of the night was seven candidates repeating speeches I’ve heard before. The Wolf Man seemed to be in another world. The part I like most was the clear animosity and sheer coolness that HRC exhibited when she entered the arena, simply iggin Obama and company, not shaking his hand. Obama, Edwards, Obama and Dodd came on stage shaking each others hand like they was at a Pimp’s Convention.
HRC stopped that jive real quick. I’m not going to tell you who won the debate(covering nose) but you decide. I still haven’t picked a pony in this race, so don’t start bugging me about who won. Give me your bias assessments. So Sound Off.

It’s about time this blog was back and running. I’m first as aways.
Don’t be calling my candidate a suspect. We know HRC is going to wipe the floor with these old white guys and Obama. She was decisive and to the point. Her not shaking his hand on her arrival on stage was a siginal to them that she was taking no crap!!!
Go Hillary…

OK, I didn’t watch the debate. Why would I spend my evening watching those nitwits.
“And from my Republican perspective, all these candidates are pretty pathetic and I do think they are moving so far to the left, that it is going to be tough for one of them to be elected next year in a general election.”
What will happen when partisan bubble busts and they have to face the broader American public.
Felt good saying that to yall….and why in the hell does the perioxde blond always get here first.

If I was HRC, I would say to the gamblers in Vegas..Hillary… I know damn well yall don’t want me here, but get use to it. I’m ahead of those bozos Obama and John. Bill will kick John’s azz if he tries any funny shyt with me. I would tell those idiots in Iraq.” Get Your Act Together Because We Are Headed Home In 90 Days”. I would light a fire under that bunch of do nothing HMO’s and as soon as I’m president, I’m coming down to South Carolina and snatch that damn rebel flag down and bury it. I’m going to call all my Mexicans friends together and ask them to stop drinking while drunk, so Gov Spitzer can give them a liscense. All these idiots up here on this stage with me with the exception of Barack and John need to carry their azzes home and give us time to articulate our positions. Closing, I would like to say to the American people..dammitt..Its about time a woman cleaned up this mess, these men have created.

How The Debate Was Seen From These Quarters
1) Obama was weak. He had to know the driver’s license question was coming, and after he went after Hillary for waffling, he should have had a clear position prepared. It’s amazing he wasn’t prepared for that.
2) Hillary was exactly what she needed to be. She never makes the same mistake twice.
She made Governor Spitzer make the NY driver’s license situation disappear. And she set the pace by not shaking Obama’s hand. She can be cold and will need it if she faces the republicans.
3) Richardson is the worst debater I’ve ever seen at that level. He’s just abysmal. He always sounds like he just woke up, but since he’s a Mexican, I’ll be nice, nice.
4) I think Dodd is great when he actually gets a word in. I truly believe he’d be the best President of the bunch. Sadly, he has no chance.
5) Edwards is really adding nothing to the discussion, aside from the fact that he’s not Hillary, and if he keep after her, he will piss Bill off and then we’ll have BillJohn Gate.

Bill Richardson is one the worst debater I’ve ever seen at that level. He’s just abysmal. He always sounds like he just woke up, or rolled out of the liquor house.
God forbib the unlikely event the presidential race comes down to Bill Richardson vs. Fred Thompson, we will spend a fortunate No-Doz. People watching at home should get their coffee pots boiling in unison. As bad as Richardson is, Fred Thompson is the sorriest politician I have ever seen barring none.
