It was prime Pumpkinhead, wasn't it? I wonder if he's "moderating" the republican debate in two weeks if he'll be as "tough" on them. What I learned tonight:
(1) Please, let there be no Hillary candidacy
(2) Dennis Kucinich is short
(3) Mike Gravel needs to get a job
(4) Joe Biden needs to go home
(5) Barak gives great speech, but lousy policy explanations
(6) Bill Richardson needs to think before speaking
(7) Chris Dodd is smart, but never answers kwestions directly, 26 years in DC will do that, Chris
(8) I like John Edwards for now, but he's got to focus more on differentiating himself from Obama and HRC.
(9) I like Dennis Kucinch, but he's got virtually no chance right now. He tells the truth and that's a deadly sin in Washington.

Oh, and please all you stupid politicians (except, I think Kucinich)... old enough to die, old enough to drink get over this Christianist Temperance Bullshit. The biggest problem facing teenagers and alcohol is lack of education and the hypocrisy of the system that encourages alcohol abuse while meteing out punishment. Let's start with a system that allows anyone under 21 with an active duty or reserve ID to get as shit faced as they want... it is, after all what they're off to fight for, right? Freedom?

Obama and HRC both seem to be pretty much towing the 1600 Crew line of "War forever" in Iraq. A great point that HRC voted for the Liebeliar amendment ... yeah, about that other vote again Hillary...? Just asking. Obama for all his self-aggrandizing courage in opposing the war (as an Illinois State Senator) did not manage to vote one way or the other on the LieberLiar amendment ... way to display those leadership traits there, Obama.

I give them all props for not falling for the torture question, except Biden who at first misunderstood it. Torture is the last refuge of the Macho Challenged. I guaran-damn-tee you that if you put Rudy! or Mitt! or any of those others on a Waterboard, they'd change their minds in a big damn hurry...they need only ask McCain about it, but they seem to ignore his experience all the while thanking him for his service while denigrating it by ignoring his wisdom on the question of torture.
