Reply to "2008 Presidential Elections part 2"

I enjoyed the debate as well ... as someone who watched most of the previous debates, it's so strange to see only 2 candidates remaining. Everyone is split on who "won". Many are saying Barack won because he one-upped her on her war vote and forced her into a corner where she actually tried to pretend she didn't know Bush was going to use military force in Iraq and that he misled her. BAH!

Others claim Hillary has better command of the issues. It was clear that both are comfortable with where they are in the race and didn't want to rock the boat too much. Nonetheless, I'm glad Barack reminded people that his candidacy is inspiring a whole new generation of voters. So true, though we can chalk much up to sheer disgust with the Bush administration. Now that people's homes and wallets are being hit hard, watch out Republicans! Kerry only had Iraq as a bargaining chip. But hell hath no fury like a Midwesterner defrauded.

My main concern at this point is that, with Super Tuesday just days away, it is too late for Barack to build enough momentum to topple the support Hillary already has nailed down. If he doesn't do strong on Tuesday he is essentially finished. I can hardly stand the excitement!
