I just gotta say: I could live with either one of them as President
After seeing last night's debate, I am proud to be a Democrat on this day.

They were civil, polished, eloquent and substantive in their "discussion" of the issues...despite dickwad Wolf Blitzer trying to stir up drama.

Unfortunately, this Edwards supporter is still unsure who to choose on Tuesday. Maybe I'll vote for John anyway...but in the GE, I would be happy to vote for either one of them.

It's exciting to think of them potentially being on the same ticket, even if it is a long shot. My sense is that if Clinton won, she would consider reaching out to Obama as VP to pull in the youth vote...but I doubt it would happen in the reverse.

1. I agree... they were both great last night.
I could also see Hillary picking Barack...but not sure if it's the other way around

2. 100% Agree
I haven't watched many of the debates but am glad I tuned in last night. Both candidates were excellent. While I lean towards Obama, I have to say that Hillary is quite impressive. It was good to hear them both campaigning against the Republicans.

4. yep
I prefer Obama to Clinton but I certainly won't have to hold my nose come November no matter how it turns out.

Though I don't want to see them both on the ticket, because I'd like to see Clark as the VP for either of them.

6. I thought they both did very well
They both appeared positive and in command of the issues. Both were far more presidential than any of the candidates in that Republican food fight the night before.

I loved Obama's swipe at Mitwit. "He's not getting a good return on his investment."

I loved Hillary taking Wolf to the woodshed over his "naive" remark.


Onward!
