I was impressed with all the candidates last night and feel hopeful
for our party. I missed the first showing, but caught it the second time around at midnight. I had read the threads and I have to say, I was feeling a nervous, but after watching for myself, I think we have GREAT group of candidates who seem very passionate about putting this country back in the right direction.

I know it will come down to one, but for now, they all have something to contriubte--their voice and passion. I think the banter between the candidates keep it interesting and upbeat--as long as they don't attack each other. They give me something to get smile about and as we all know, there hasn't been alot to smile about in a while.

For the life of me I can't understand how we can keep knocking down the ones who we don't like. Aren't we all on the same side? We all have our favorites and in the long run one of these candidates will represent our party in beating bush. Isn't that what the focus should be.

It's a good day to be a Dem!

1. I Agree
I'm still undecided about which candidate I prefer, but that's because I like so many of the candidates. I only caught the last half of the program last night, but I liked what I saw.

2. I agree as well, other than the cheap shots by Edwards and Sharpton
Its energizing and inspiring to see our Dem leaders talk to the issues affecting Americans.

I always enjoy Carole Moseley Braun. Shes wonderful and I always come away inspired by her.

3. I like her too
I love it when she says, "i am the clear choice to run against Bush, cause I don't talk like him, I don't look like him..." She is a true lady.
