I liked Edwards tonight

[Lone_Star_Dem]

He stood out and I enjoyed listening to him.

Obama also lost no ground in my opinion.

Hillary wasn't at her best but she was a head an shoulders above anyone I saw in the Republican debate.

I've decided I don't like Richardson so I won't give comments on him since they'd be tainted.

All in all we did very well tonight. It was a good night to be a Democrat. :toast:

[GOPisEvil]

1. I really liked Edwards as well.

I voted for him in the '04 primaries too.

I think each candidate had his or her moments tonight, even Bill RIchardson. I have to have a soft spot in my heart for him for how he stepped up for the Texas Senators.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

4. They did all have their good moments

Some just reached me more than others, which is as it should be. This is just my very uneducated opinions.

You know I love ya David, but I still don't want Richardson for president. :P

[GOPisEvil]

6. Oh, I don't want him to be president either.

But I do have a soft spot for him. My dad LOVES him.

I do wish Kucinich had been invited though, just for completeness.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

11. I like having Kucinich in the debates too

He broadens the debate with his presence, which is what I enjoy about him and why I was glad he threw his hat in the ring again.

I was just kidding you about Richardson, I didn't really think you wanted him for president. :P

I've never admitted this here before but my mom's choice was Gravel.

[GOPisEvil]

13. My mom is for Hillary.

I love having Democrats for parents. The only political arguments we have are about who hates Bush more. :D

OT: How are you doing? Things going well?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

19. It is great isn't it?

Especially living in Texas. Where most of my Democratic friends can't say the same. Bless their poor little hearts. :P

I'm great. My Daughter is...get this...a Junior in college now! Wow, how time flies. Work is slowing down a bit, but that's normal for this time of year. Other than that I can't complain, which is more than several I know.

How about you? Tell me, have the fates have been being kind to you?

[GOPisEvil]

20. It is getting great to be a Democrat here too!

I'm glad you're well. I cannot believe your daughter is a Junior already. It seems like just yesterday that she was graduating high school. Time does fly. Wow.

Things are good for me. I had a couple of small rough patches, but nothing serious. Now, things are going really well.

It was really good seeing you tonight. I'm getting offline. Have a good night! :hi::pals:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

21. You too!

It was great to bump into you. :pals:

[TahitiNut]

2. I particularly liked seeing his parents in the audience.

Seeing them made his "story" stand out as real ... those are a pair of HARD-working folks. Edwards is more than hair.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

5. Yeah, he's more than the hair and always has been

I never have taken any of the trivial negative stuff to heart. I hope I never do.

Seeing his parents helped bring it home for me also.

[midnight]

17. That is a nice piece of information. His parents were in the

audience. Were any other candidates parents in the audience?

[TahitiNut]

18. I didn't see other candiate family except Chelsea and Huck's squeeze.

Of course Elizabeth was there, too. Awesome lady.

[kansasblue]

3. 'this is personal' - I think that really works.

I believe that will help him a lot.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

7. It will resonate with some of us

Not all, but some. I know it resonated with me.

[lutefisk]

8. I agree that Clinton was better than the Republicans

...but Edwards won me over. I still want Gore, but I am convinced that Edwards can do what needs to be done.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

12. I wanted Gore too!

I still do, but "I accept the things I cannot change." :cry:

[AzDar]

9. He. Was. Awesome.

Waaayyyy beyond political; he hit me in the heart tonight.:loveya:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. He did me too

What remains to be seen is how many others he had that effect on.

[Blue-Jay]

10. "It was a good night to be a Democrat."

Yep.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

15. Bask in it

Tomorrow we'll be angry again. Enjoy it while we can I say. :D

[Blue-Jay]

23. Well met, Sir.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

24. Or Madam

As the case may be. ;)

[Blue-Jay]

26. My sincere apologies.

I made an incorrect assumption regarding your gender. That happens to me sometimes, because I never click on profiles. <---too lazy

[Lone_Star_Dem]

27. Don't apologize

I've been assumed to be a man here more than a woman.

I find no fault in it as I've done the same myself.

[DawgHouse]

16. In my view, Obama was not at his best but he did well.

Edwards did better than I expected and Hillary did predictably well. Whoever wins the nom gets my support.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

22. I'm in it for the long haul

Whoever wins the nomination is better than the Republican so they have my vote.

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. It's always a good night too be a Democrat! I have renewed hope!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

28. As do I

I feel energized. Which is a feeling I love and embrace. :)

[Neshanic]

29. Yes he was very good.
