Tonight is the first debate of the 2008 campaign. It seems a bit odd that such a debate would come so early, but this might be a good thing. It'll be interesting to see how things turn out...
cue dramatic cliffhanger music...
Will Hillary throw a tantrum, as per her divine right as former first lady to rule the world and attempt to decapitate the insolent upstart Obama?
Will Obama prove that he may instead be the next Bobby Kennedy, or will he come off more like a Labor Day Ted Kennedy?
Will John Edwards be able to withstand the unholy onslaught of a $400 haircut, and reasonably explain how he cares about the poor?
Will Bill Richardson and Chris Dodd start screaming in Spanish at each other, because they can, and, presumably, Hillary, Obama and Edwards cannot?
Will Kucinich, the little man with the balls to instigate articles of impeachment against Darth Cheney, be able to be heard, or even seen, on camera?
Will Biden apologize again for a malaprop worthy of Bush?
Will Gravel be introduced?
Who will emerge victorious?
You tell me (seriously).
I missed the debate and haven't found any reports yet that talk about the issues. From what I can tell nothing substantial was debated.
ReplyDeleteThere was a great deal of discussion in the Wizard's Tower about just how much Mike Gravel gave a much-needed kick in the teeth to everyone on stage.
ReplyDeleteKucinich looked like a Gnome. His "vest pocket Constitution" was priceless. And he and Obama certainly set up that "confrontation" ahead of time.
Horatio Sanz and Bill Richardson -- separated at birth?
And we're still waiting for any of them to actually answer a question.
