Are You Ready to Rumble?
Last night’s Democratic CNN Debate started off more like a WWF Smackdown than a presidential debate. Now that 5 primary events have passed (both caucuses and elections) and the media has had many a field day, the Democratic presidential candidates are going negative and aren’t looking back. It was not quite clear who was dominating whom with issues like ‘who is really running, you or your husband?’ and ‘how much do you love the republicans?’ being addressed. I had completely forgotten that John Edwards was even there until about 20 minutes into the debate when he finally spoke saying,
What I want to say first is, are there three people in this debate, not two? And I also want to know — I also want to know on behalf of voters here in South Carolina, this kind of squabbling, how many children is this going to get health care? How many people are going to get an education from this? How many kids are going to be able to go to college because of this?
Obama and Clinton were slinging mud like they were in Oregon during our wet winter…hey maybe they learned a few things from last weeks ASUO Senate hearing, I mean meeting. Through mostly irrelevant and petty attacks, what was clear is that the three top runners are not stepping down anytime soon. This race is still wide open, and so is the door for attacks. I am glad we all know what is important in deciding who should be ASUO Senate President, I mean US President. Thank You Edwards for trying to keep us on track. Lucky that you are only third and get to say things like that.
