Among the 10, Two Are Tested the Most (washingtonpost.com)

Did you watch the debates last night? Yeah, Ok, I know the bachelor was on but come on! In general each of the candidates did about as well as they thought they would. Seems to make sense that Clark couldn’t have anything prepared so he really was not going to be helping any of us out with any specifics. The other candidates did come off much more ready than he did in this debate. Carol Mosley Braun made some sense last night, and came through really well. I don't seriously think she has a shot in hell, but she may be a good person to energize the vote. I also look for her to be the strong voice she has always been for causes in the party. She is getting much better and we should keep an eye on her for the future. The Rev. Al. What can I say he was doing great until he started talking about the Amsterdam News and the Wall Street Journal.

Kerry and Lieberman seem to be stuck in the old Washington lip-speak. I did not feel that either of these gentlemen was in the zone. Nor did I think that either of these men had a plan or a grasp of the current economic situation.

Edwards although better than either Kerry or Lieberman on the honesty vote, and what is going on is still a little old Washington.

Speaking f old Washington--Gephardt--! He seemed to be moderating his views and speaking well last night and I have to give him credit for standing up for what he believes he moves more toward Dean an that guy from Ohio with the bad comb over.

Ich the comb-over and stuff, Certainly, I was with this man on the issues. Well ok until he started talking crazy at the end about his plan for a new nirvana. Did anyone else feel like he was starting a cult towards the end Geez!

Dean--
Although battered and bruised Dean was honest. I get the feeling that this man was being straight with me. When he says, no we can't have our cake and eat it too that seems reasonable. I like a guy who is honest. He said no we can't afford the tax cuts we got, and the baby boomer retirement, and the war, and health care.

So on the downside he has a temper. He is very very honest about his opinions and adds no sugar to his spice! Is this cause for concern? Guess it could be--but wouldn't it be a fun change from Bush?

Keep letting me know what you think. I am really enjoying the e-mails and responses.
