I actually took a break from football on Saturday to check out the presidential debates on ABC. After the unexpected results in Iowa, the race is a lot more interesting. First though, enough with the “We need change” rant. Just like a certain commercial, that’s a true “Duh” moment. I know all their handlers (especially Hillary’s) told them to say “change” every other sentence, but enough already! We get it.
I’m a registered democrat and when Barack Obama announced, I thought, "good, he’ll gain experience for his next attempt at the nomination." Iowa really changed that. His time might be now, so much so that Hillary and Bill are running scared. That said, both Obama and Ms. Clinton aquitted themselves well at the debate. So did John Edwards but despite is second place in Iowa, he’s going nowhere. Yes, I’m going to bring up the “e” word, experience. Obama does need more seasoning, but after seven years of Bush, Jr., experience isn’t looking like such as important factor. He sure as hell didn’t improve with more experience in the job that he stole in 2000 with those hanging chads in Florida. Maybe on the job training would be better than a seasoned politician who knows where to obtain all the money from special interests and returns the favors. My only concern would be whether he can he win; we can’t be stuck with a Republican again. This really has turned into a race; maybe New Jersey’s participation in the Meet The Press-coined "Tsunami Tuesday" is relevant now.
Stay tuned America.
P.S. How did Ron Paul get elected as a Republican?
