Clinton by far.. the most knowledgeable
the most articulate the best debater

Never lost her calm, never waived on her issues..

But.. in our patriarchal society, she will never appear "Presidential."

As for Gravel.. continued with the image of the crazy aunt in the attic:

when asked what he would do in his first 100 days he just replied with a tirade about the rest of them

Was impressed with Biden forceful delivery and conviction - whether agree with him or not, but disappointed with Richardson who talked too much about what he'd done before.

As a resume consultants once told me: use the word expertise, not experience. It does not matter much about what you did in the past, but what skills you have to deliver in the future.

1. No Clinton for me, thanks.
She wants more H1-B visas. That's a deal-killer.

2. "Never appear "Presidential." " That was before Pelosi.

Women look like sanity these days. Except when Condi Rice has a press conference.

3. Never truly gave a good answer either without
subtley bringing in ol Bill. Sorry, she didn't impress me except with her comment about Cheney.

9. Really? I thought her candid remark about Cheney and foreign visits was hilarious!

13. I did not think that she brought it until
Blitzer asked the others what role Bill would play in their presidency.

And she was laughing and once Bill was an item she decided: what the heck.

7. I have a feeling that your opinion on that will never change
regardless of what Obama and Hillary do.

10. ..."most knowledgeable"? Perhaps you were watching another debate...
I thought she didn't do badly, I thought she got spanked a couple times on her war position. Not my candidate, but she didn't do as badly or was as snarky as Edwards. Senator Clinton's (not "Hillary", as Edwards called her) fans should be proud.

Biden slapped Kootch into next week on explaining reality about the war funding. Gravel was the village Perotian. Richardson craftily put his experience in his answers.

I do feel Obama won if only because he played the above-board leader very well. He rocked actually.

11. or just the best at spinning?
I don't think we need another "dynasty". Look how well 2 bushes worked..... I don't think 2 Clintons is a good idea either.

Too much insider crap going on for me thank you.

12. I am a woman and I'd LOVE a woman president... But
Hillary leaves me completely cold.
