I should know better
than to post anything here. But what the hell. I liked the respectfil tone of tonights debate. I have very slowly gravitated from my support of John Edwards to Senator Obama.

I thought at moments Senator Clinton considered having at it - but after the xerox thing - she instinctively knew that wasn't the path - nor did I get te impression her heart was in it.

If it turns out that the remainder of this primary does not go her way, I'm going to recall tonight as the night she showed us she was one classy woman - showed us she is ready, perhaps, to accept that the most amazing dream that anyone could ever have might just not come to pass and that she is prepared to support the will of the American people as we move forward.

I don't get what goes on over here. Hell, I'm old enough to remember that the thing that set JFK appart before the convention in 1960 - was the comfort he had in going into a group of LBJ supporters. This isn't a death match - this is two fine folk putting the best they got forward and our chance to choose among them which direction we prefer as a county.

Either of these two would be a fine representative of our party and our future. We might have concluded we'd rather follow one more than the other. And I think we have. But they are both worthy of our respect and admiration.

1. Glad you decided to post this ...
... even if it was against your better judgment.

"Either of these two would be a fine representative of our party and our future. We might have concluded we'd rather follow one more than the other. And I think we have. But they are both worthy of our respect and admiration."

Excellent take on it!

2. Total agreement. Tonight was the night that Hillary actually
conceded with class, IMHO.

8. She Wanted To Go For Jugular, But She Did Back Off When She Saw It Wasn't Working...
Unlike a lot of others though, I think her closing statement was scripted, but then she almost got emotional for a moment.
