checked out some of the Dem debate

I still prefer Biden or Edwards to the rest of the field. I think Hillary or Obama would get trounced in the general election. Neither one of the them is ready for a big-time, full out campaign against the evil empire (Republicans).

Chris Dodd said some very heartfelt sounding stuff about the mudslinging against Hillary. He said words to the effect that the American people aren't interested in this negative stuff and that they really want to hear differences on policy. I think he is completely wrong. Americans are bored shitless by policy debate. They need the mudslinging to make it interesting for their small minds.

Edwards' take on the Hillary bashing is astute. He noted that this is very gentle stuff compared to the storm of lies and nastiness that ANY Democrat faces when they run against the Republican Party for the presidency.
