The S.C. Democrapic Debate

Watching that was like being trapped in the car with my 3 petulant children on a 12 hour car journey from NJ to IN. Only the bickering and squabbling were significantly worse in the debate.

The only one of those people who appeared presidential last night was Edwards. I have to admit he is my preferred candidate anyway, but in last night's little brawl he did manage to stay above the fray.

It's too bad that Hilary and Obama feel the need to torpedo each other on non issues like who did 5 hours of work on some slum lord case or who was on the board of Wal-mart. It makes them both look petty and weak. As usual the democraps don't need to wait for the republican party to defeat them. They do it themselves handily enough well before the election even starts.

It's especially disturbing in such a year as this when this country is at a real turning point.

The only thing more depressing than those two babies wacking each other with their toys is the idea of a McCain/ Huckabee ticket. There's a ticket that could possibly bridge the republican rift and woo McCain's moderate fans away from whomever the democrats run.
