I've never been so insulted in all my life, and let her know it.

1. Oh come'on.
I happen to know I've personally insulted you worse than that one several occasions.

6. The thing that most interested me at this week's debate
was the fact that an audience of mostly black people was receptive to all the candidates. They cheered Hillary and I heard a few boos on occasion. I heard a few boos of Obama between the cheers. I heard resounding applause for John Edwards and saw heads nodding in agreement when he made a good point. I'm not saying that this is a surprise to me. It should come as no surprise that African Americans, like everyone else have a mind of their own and it's an open mind. Like everyone else, they want a good candidate above all to represent them. And it looked to me that they were giving each of the candidates a chance to move them, to make them laugh, and to appeal to their good judgement on the issues.
