As VIEWS is over the water had a good chance to think about the Democratic Debate last night, Obama and Clinton don't like each other, some real dirty pool of politics, he stated she had been a Director of Wall Mart while she said he had been Lawyer for a slum lord. John Edwards was there for this contest, but he came across as quite normal, not the rule for John Edwards, Edwards tried to keep to the subject and he did not bash on about his Two Americans stump speech. Obama showed he was not going to allow the Bill and Hillary Clinton to define his record. He is learning what others have learnt about the Clinton's they fight dirty. Thus on the grading of the debate, Obama A, Clinton B+ and Edwards a C-.
Obama gets a A because he showed in the first hour that he was willing to fight his corner, he showed that Democrats have to get votes beyond the base, thus the reference to Ronald Reagan, he showed that they needed Obama Republicans and Independents to vote for the Democrats as to have the support Reagan had in 1980.
Clinton gets a B+ because she kept Obama on earth, made him fight dirty, as ab0ve she has no chance in S.C but she made sure she will get support for Super Tuesday. Her support is older women over 50 and those from Mexican decent. In the General Election she will need to get greater support to win.
Edwards gets a C- he made himself noticed, but this is not his year.
