Chris Matthews and perhaps now Olberman as well have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt ... that they are in fact bought. Hillary "no shrillness in her voice.. sounding presidential" Obama giving multi-layered answers.. "looking and sounding presidential" My foot... Obama NEVER answered ONE question... NOT ONE!
This whole enterprise was a sham! look at your own poll here... Who's winning... if this is in anyway objective... Ain't Obama or Hillary... It is in fact John Edwards...
The establishment media is shoving Obama Clinton down our throats... aided and abetted by people like Bill Richardson and Joe Biden... The democratic party is pathetic... and will lose in '08 if this sham is allowed to go unchallenged.
Did anyone notice how the camera followed Obama around post debate almost to the near exclusion of everyone else? How much time did Obama get compared to the others?
John Edwards suggested about midway through the debate that we ought to be providing more details about our positions ... rather than hollow rhetoric... After all he is the only candidate who actually has plans to deal with America's foremost issues... Hillary still failed to renounce her vote for the Iraq debacle... She apologized for her blundered health care plan... and now sides with making our current system "more efficient" (stick with corporate health insurance)just like Richardson, Obama and ... the republicans.. status quo... steady as she goes... no need for change here... and Obama when called out on his stated policy of "everything" is on the table re: Iran... tanks to Dennis for trying to keep him honest... and lets give a hand to Gravel... He might just throw some sand in the geears of the DLC...
Lets face it... When Biden stated that the Republicans had not better wish for Hillary... insinuating that she is a formidable candidate... despite massive public disapproval ratings... Biden just proved that he was just a "filler" candidate meant to be more a distraction than a real live contender... perhaps a VP nominee? As is Richardson... there to eat up time and to go after Edwards w/ his BS "blowdried" comment... What a POS!
Richardson is OTW when trying to portray himself as authentic... compared to Edwards. When you talk authentic... all you have to look at is how John Edwards answered in the most thoughtful and contemplative manner possible the ringer question of who he thought was his "moral compass" He was nearly in tears as he mentioned his father after he spoke of his wife Elizabeth as being his conscience...
Edwards is "authentic" Edwards is the republican party's worst nightmere in 2008...
For the repubs to win in '08 they need a middle of the roader... or a widely despised candidate like Hillary... to make it close...
Edwards takes away that option as middle class republicans will vote for this good man... John Russell
