I think Obama showed he was a fighter tonight

No, not a fighter against Hillary. He showed an ability to take on McCain. He called the repugs on the financial mess they've made of this country. He sounded stronger to me tonight. I've been worried about both candidate's willingness to take on the repugs and tie them to chimp. I'm not so worried now.:)

Dole vs. Bill, '96.

But he did very well.

Law Review = brilliant.

By mid spring...he should be able to debate McCain on the issues so strongly McCain will start screaming and cursing like the idiot he is.

I couldn't help notice how he sat there with his head tilted up looking down his nose at her. I didn't use to notice those things about him but everytime I watch him he bothers me a little more.

they would be totally unstoppable!

What a great night!

:-)

He speaks in rough choppy sentences, not smooth at all. He needs to work on this.

before people were saying what is he about but now more and more people are getting to know and this is showing in the polls.

Agreed. One quality he has that I wish he would use more is his wit.

OBAMA VS MCCAIN LETS DO THIS

So it’s not clear to me what differences we’ve had since I’ve been in the Senate. I think what people might point to is our different assessments of the war in Iraq, although I’m always careful to say that I was not in the Senate, so perhaps the reason I thought it was such a bad idea was that I didn’t have the benefit of U.S. intelligence. And, for those who did, it might have led to a different set of choices. So that might be something that sort of is obvious. But, again, we were in different circumstances at that time: I was running for the U.S. Senate, she had to take a vote, and casting votes is always a difficult test."
