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.

I didn't see that debate Marilyn. I did see the speeches just after the results of the caucus were in and he did a great job with that one. Much better than the others. Hilary even said something to the effect of maybe republicans who have "seen the light" would vote democrat. I was shocked that she would say something like that. She was trying to make a joke, but still...I prefer bipartisanship over rep/dem hostility...there's good and bad to both parties. The individual is what really counts and I thought that joke was out of line. Just my opinion though.
I'm excited about New Hampshire as well.
