I mean that last debate was some stepped up attacking... but was it THAT different than the others? No, its just that they decided that it was, so now the narrative has changed that Hillary screwed up and that she won't give a straight answer. Don't get me wrong, at this point I'm happy to see anything that sticks against Hillary, its just amazing how much power the media has in deciding when something becomes an issue or controversy, when many of them have been going on the whole campaign.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082265494052859780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785387207570374478.post-54913869602731050432007-10-31T16:16:00.000-04:002007-10-31T16:16:00.000-04:00Nice graphic....to the pointThis is my biggest pro...Nice graphic....to the point<BR/><BR/>This is my biggest problem with the so called 'left-wing' of the candidates: Very little action, and the action being taken is such a slap in the face to their progressive supporters.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what it is, maybe we have built up this image of an ideal candidate, maybe we have idealized this dream candidate that simply cannot exist in the current political climate..I don't know, but I find it more and more difficult to look at the field of democratic candidates and see someone who will actually bring real change. Now I've never been much of a pulse of the American public, but after seeing the debate I just wanted to punch the hell out of my wall. Edwards, for all his political campaign populism, simply came off as the young annoying kid in the room playing gotcha to impress his teacher...he is better than this and should have shown it...Obama, what happened to all the talk of stepping up your game on Hillary? Where is the questioning of the Iran proposal DIRECTLY in relation to the IRAQ WAR AUTHORIZATION? Dodd was the only one who actually seemed to bring it up, questioning the very validity of the war itself.....no wonder Colbert is polling higher than 1/3rd of the field...<BR/><BR/>I know its early in the 'primary season' (my thoughts on that nonsense another day) but damn, lets make some real change..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
