Did you see the debate tonight on ABC? I missed the Republican portion. Did not know it was on until we joined it after the Democratic portion had already begun. I hate to say it, but if this debate were all I had to make a decision, I'd have to say Hillary looked the best with Edwards second and Obama third. Richards should just give it up. I really like Obama, and of the three is/was my preference, but he kept saying "I think...". He'd say things like "The people in Iowa were trying, I think, to tell us...." I'd rather hear him say with more assurance, "The people of Iowa were trying to tell us...." The very frequent use of "I think" made him look uncertain. Once I picked up on this, the "I think" became distracting. He stuttered some too, like he was unsure what to say. Hillary and Edwards came off appearing much more sure of themselves.

It's kinda scary. I'm anxious to see what happens in New Hampshire.

I like Ron Paul, even though he doesn't look Presidential. Guess we'll just have to see how things shake out.
