The California Democratic Debate

The opening seems like a sporting event, with Wolf Blitzer and his sideline reporters talking about what each team will have to do to win, and what strategies each will use. Obama acknowleges Edwards, and that he'll be a friend to the senator- and ex-first lady- from New York even as they tear each others' throats out.

How charming.

According to NewsMax, the conservative magazine, Hillary is headed for a crash. Funny, she looks quite ravishing...I think.



Clinton also acknowledges John Edwards.

She mentions that the differences between her and Obama in health care. she believes that we need universal health care. (Heard of the Oregon Health Plan, Hil?) She also wants to freeze interest rates for five years. Obama says that reducing costs in health care would be better, opposed to the Universal plan Clinton endorses.
Of course, he's against the War on Terrorism- been so since day one. I don't like the war myself, but we're in it, so we've got to win it in the end.

On health care, he wants it mandatory for children.

Both agree that something needs to be done about the hemmoraging southern border. Clinton wants to help Mexico create better jobs. Both agree that those who are in this country illegally can go on a path of legal citizenship, provided that they pay the fines and back taxes.

With Super Tuesday looming, both candidates are- doubtlessly- fighting tooth and nail for the vote. just like in the Republican race for the nomination, whoever wins the majority of the twenty states this Tuesday will likely go on to win the nomination in Denver.

But as close as this race on the Democrat side is, it could pretty much end up as a toss up.
