What Edwards did in the debate last night gained my respect.

Jesus Christ, I am so sick of what's going on within my own party. People wonder why it's splitting apart at the seams? All you have to do is look at the two frontrunners. Last night they looked like they belonged on the McLaughlin Group, talking over each other and pointing their fingers like children.

Not very presidential.

And then there was John Edwards, the voice of reason, bringing what really matters back into focus.

The other two ought to be thoroughly ashamed of their behavior. Don't they realize how turned off they make people with that kind of behavior?

I am a Kucinich supporter, but John Edward's stock went up really high in my estimation last night.

2. I did not watch the debate although I did see an internet video of
this part.

Bringing the issues back into focus was very good, but then he talked about fixing SS.

Social Security is not the problem, it is the spending of the trust fund.

Kucinich on SS

"It is rock solid through 2040..."

6. I wasn't, but I am warming up to him.
I identify strongly with Kucinich, and Edwards has some glaring faults, but compared to Clinton and Obama, he looks very presidential.

5. I felt like I was back at the convention in 1968 until John spoke. If
we do not stop this we will lose in the general. In light of this I wonder what Hillary said to John after the debate when she visited him? He was really pointing out both of their childishness.
