Democratic Debate, Center Stage

by

democrat-logo.jpgAs I write this, we’re taking the first of three bathroom breaks scheduled for tonight’s two-hour Democratic debate. Even presidential candidates apparently have to occassionally pee. Who knew? They’re done now, I hear Tim Russert asking the next question. I’ll be back.

All righty then, we’re at break number two. So far, so good. What is so clearly obvious is that the three real candidates are receiving the most questions, and are also positioned front and center. We’ve got Chris Dodd and Joe Biden stage left, and Dennis Kucinich and Bill Richardson stage right.

Center stage is, of course, John, Hillary and Barack. No surnames required for the stars of the show. Think Cher.

At the third break, I myself had to take a time out to visit the little boys’ room, so now the debate is over, and the media analysis has begun. I’ve switched channels, not so interested in others’ opinions after this one. I think the winner of this round is clearly Barack. At least amongst the three leading stars of the show. I have decided that I do like Keebler Elf Dennis Kucinich, I really do, but he doesn’t stand a chance in hell of winning the nomination. He may have made the most sense of anyone else on stage tonight, from what little we heard from the tiny man, but keeping it real, we all know it’s going to come down to one of the three major players. I think in this evening’s debate, Barack decidedly came out on top.

I was rooting for Hillary, and I know she leads in the polls, but her lackluster performance tonight was a bit disappointing. I still like her, and would like to see a woman as President, and will support her if she makes it through the primaries. But for now, I’m siding with the black dude.

The complete transcript is here in case you missed it. Hillary did stumble quite a bit, but then again, the big boys were pushing her around. I’m sure it was hard for her to keep her footing.

Of course I missed elimination night of Dancing With The Stars. I’ll have to check online now to see who was voted off … I hope it wasn’t Jane. Fingers crossed.
