I have just got to say, John Edwards made me so proud tonight.
He made me proud to be a Democrat again. He represents everything that is good about the Democratic Party. He clearly is the heir apparent to FDR. He put the corporate candidate in her place and didn't back down on anything. I also liked Bidden and DOD. They were terrific. Ob ama could have done a bit better but not bad. DJ has been better too. Richardson was again, not good.And Hillary dropped her mask.

11. Richardson shamed himself with that kiss-up performance.
He didn't touch Edwards.

14. Its not shameful to point out the facts, Richardson looked like a joke...
like usual. Edwards did look good in this one but I have to give Obama some credit for pointing out that even he didn't understand what Clintons answer was. Hopefully America wakes up and looks at the facts before they vote for the most popular and most recognized name instead of the best person for the job.

23. Richardson spanked the little puppie. Edwards proved his lack of worth.
What a boor Edwards was last night.

2. Yes, I have a lot of respect and admiration for John.
He says what he really believes, not what he knows people want to hear.

He will be an excellent President.

16. Make YOUR Point & Even Though MSM Won't Give Edwards His Due...
Hillary WILL get what all that money buys! In the end, Shrillary may pull it off because she get to run on the inside track ALL THE TIME, but she wants what she wants, but she MAY have to answer for it someday!

I can still WISH, and I know "my heart" feels good about Edwards, whereas Hillary SCARES me A LOT! Shades of a campaign in 2004 and how the Bushies work! Call me names, denigrate me, say what you will, but she BOMBED and it SHOWED! Sorry, but not answering questions or flip-flopping around does NOT a President make!

It's late on the East Coast... so Ta, Ta for Now!!!

3. A very strong performance by Edwards
Hillary's big mistake was not taking him seriously enough to respond with any attacks of her own against him. She was JE's punching bag tonight and he knows how to throw 'em.

Also liked his insistence that Americans ask themselves what kind of world they want to give to their children. He said this a few times and it resonated.

5. He was certainly the most effective in countering Clinton...
I agree that Dodd and Biden had a good night as well.

7. He made us all proud.
I made another campaign contribution. Edwards' vision of America is one that I want to live in. I look forward to the future under the leadership of John Edwards!

Keep the hope alive. Bit by bit we are building up and spreading the message of change.

I haven't felt this way since I volunteered for the Ned Lamont campaign last year to get rid of repuke asshole LIARman. In a way, we are doing the same thing. Trying to save the party from the grips of corporatism and repuke lite talking points.

9. He did great tonight
I'm glad somebody was really taking it to Hillary. I really hope people got a good look at her, both her evasiveness and her contentiousness when she's put under the least bit of pressure.

13. I am not an Edwards fan, but he looked good tonite!
So did Biden. Obama needs to look in the friggin camera. Hillary was pathetic. Maybe she wants to lose the general election? Maybe we do too if we nominate her?

17. Wish I would have seen it
I saw a few clips of JE in action though and he was really giving her the business. It was good to see someone challenge her.
