Last Post 4 days, 10 hours Ago


One night Two party's 4 hours of a political commercial.  The next time I sit through a debate it will be between 2 candidates.  Tonight was 10 people running for their party's nomination and as far as I'm concern nothing came out of this that has changed my mind.  I don't necessarily think they really were out to.  They all had the stage to basically tell you why to vote for them and not the other person.  I found the democrats a touch more civil.  The republicans took every chance to swipe at Mitt Romney.  It kind of reminded me of  The Great African Plains where the mighty Gazelle is wounded.  Above the vultures wait for that right moment.  On the other side Edwards teamed up with Obama to take a hit at Hilliary when ever possible.   I think they all got a chance to sell their goods. 

I couldn't help notice a couple of superficial things.  I couldn't take my eyes off of John Edwards hair.  At the point where it is parted I thought was a bit phony.  I think there is something under there to give it lift.  Mrs. Clinton looks like she got a fresh shot of Botox.  She probably travels with it. Bill Richardson's tie wasn't fully up there.  He has the same problem I do.  A tie at full staff interferes with a double chin.

Charlie Gibson did a pretty good job.  All and all I was bored stiff.  I played some solitaire and looked through some new catalogs to help me make it.   Winners and Loser's?  Time will tell!

You know my winners and losers but I will say Charlie did do a good job. He didn't have it easy with the way the candidates acted, but he kept a smile and a down to earth feel. I sat through both and unfortunatley they should have swapped the Republican debate to the back end because, for me, that produced the most excitement. (Btw good analogy with the Gazelle)

Charlie did not do a good job, as moderator he is in charge of each candidates time and if they go over the limit then moderator disciplines by shutting them up. Charlie could not shut up the candidates as they attack each other and laughed through the debate.

The republicans debate was more of a gang up on romney and paul debate, no respect for the elder statesman paul, shame on the corrupt politicians mccain/thompson/romney/guiliani.

Bostonblogger, if you saw the debate from the start you would have heard Charlie tell the audience that was going to be the forum. Less Questions from him and more of a conversation style. I think it went pretty much the way he laid out..
