Mary, I think I know what Obama was trying to say but it didn't come out the right way. He does have a right to be questioned about his remarks.The republicans will do far worse than what happened on stage last night. If he gets the nomination, just think of it as training for the general election. I haven't paid as much attention but it was my impression that he gives as good as he gets. I still think Obama gets a pass on most things. Does anyone think that a caucasian candidate would get away with that dancing remark he made? Is there any truth to the comment that hrc made about his slumlord client in Chitown? Instead of playing the sparring soundbites endlessly, I would welcome someone coming in and actually researching what the candidates say for truthfulness. That would be much more helpful than all these silly soundbites. I only watched a small part of the debates but was turned off by the commercials that ran. It seemed like any time I turned on the debate, the next thing I knew there was a commercial. Maybe it was bad timing on my part. My impressions of Obama are different than what many here feel about him. I get the impression of him as the intellectual who gives a good speech but will have difficulty getting things done. I would like to be proven wrong about this but I have yet to see where anyone has talked about some actual significant accomplishments that he has had as a legislator. I see Clinton as a junkyard dog type of fighter who, because of all the battles she has been in, has learned some degree of compromise but who can't seem to say that she was wrong on her vote on the war. That bothers me but I think she is more ready to be president than Obama. Edwards seems to me to be a bit of a pretty boy candidate. He has some good ideas but he seems to liberal to me. I get the impression that he is somewhat to the left of Obama. Those are just my impressions. All that being said, like I and others have said here, I look for any of the democrats to be better at striking a better balance on the supreme court than exists now. As of right now, I don't think there is a republican that I can vote for, basically for that reason. Neal
