    In really think Biden won the Democratic debate hands down. I didn't see it replayed until this morning, but I was quite impressed with his ability to kick it sans b.s. He seems to be practical, experienced, and consistent. And loud.

    Im really liking John Thompson. Hes conservative, but not to the point where he wont make changes when needed and overall seems like a great leader and decision maker.

    I don't like Hillary very much, but then again I don't like any of the candidates all that much. I'll be glad as long as it's a Democrat this time, though I wish other parties actually had a chance.

    Hilary Clinton is an incredible speaker, she has all the skills to pursuade people, but I just dont like her beliefs and what she might do in office. I dont know..im not trying to be sexist, but you just cant trust women...especially one that just doesn't seem right...I dont know. All I know is im defiently NOT voting her.

    Yeah buddy that wasn't a good try. :wink:To me, it's either Hillary or Obama. I haven't heard too much from Barack that I like and I don't give a damn that he is black like me, and Hillary seems to make a lot of sense in a time when the current administration is full of idiots. Being a woman won't change the fact that she is a good politician and that she will probably do some good things in office. And what do you mean you can't trust women? How is she "just not right?" You've trusted your mother for all of your short life haven't you?

    I dont know..I just have a bad feeling about her. Right now Im liking Obama and Fred Thompson the most. Of course im still not decided though...theres only so much ive learned about Thompson cause he hasnt ran officially technically. I was more joking about you cant trust a women...I thought the men on the board would get that...but I personally dont like her beliefs and what she is saying she will do when she gets into office.

    -Hillary is a mannequin. She lacks belief. Great name recognition. Anybody that thinks the current president is even close to the last is nuts. She's soaking up that pub ya'll.-Obama takes intellectual risks. First candidate to point out the real problem with modern politics: all conflict stems from the sixties culture wars. -Edwards is too liberal to win it all. But he's got the most charm of ALL candidates.-Giuliani is a right place, right time candidate. He's a liberal except when it comes to nonwhites. Tough on crime reputation. That's probably the most acceptablility a New York mayor can offer in the GOP primary.-McCain is struggling. If it wasn't for that Christian Coalition/Oil money, he would have beaten Bush in 1999 primary. But voters are turned off by a loser that acts like a loser.-Thompson is a lightweight that makes up for it by being an actor.
