Democratic Debates

I listened to the Youtube CNN Democratic party debates.

Dom's summary:

Most of the questions were posted by foolish plebians. You are not prepared!

Hillary's wise enough to smack Obama down when he leaves an opening and Obama comes off as someone out of his depth.

The rest of the candidates don't matter. *snore*

If Hillary wins the nomination she'll be a formidable candidate. If Obama wins the nomination I think the Republicans will eat him alive. A risky combination of inexperience and straying too close to the fringe elements to not be an easy target. That's the point of these debates - to see who can stand up to the heat of the real contest next yet. Hillary's doing a better job.

On the Republican side I think it's a 2 horse race. Rudy and Mitt. Many people have their hopes on Fred, but I think Newt would be a better choice.

If Rudy wins the nomination I think he'll win the lot. If Mitt wins then I think it's an open question. Either would be a good candidate.

Still early days though. Even still I'm prepared to narrow it down to just 4 people at this point.
