Edwards is Kicking Ass tonight!
Did you see Obama and Clinton jump to add their 5 cents after Edwards had just blown them all away with his spot-on answer about the ROTC on campuses? His heart jumped out of his chest and into the living rooms of all veterans across America and the World and they couldn't afford to let him have the last word with his incredible performance.

9. Unlike you with your exaggeration, Edwards is telling the truth. Even about himself. WOW!
And he would be more honest and on the right side of issues more of the time as President than anyone has ever been, including the other two on the stage tonight.

8. BAN THE ROTC FROM COLLEGE CAMPUSES UNTIL 'DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL' IS REPEALED
College campuses have a social responsibility to support equality, which trumps the war machine any day of the week.

12. I Just Commented At THE Thread... Clinton & Obama Are Being Overly
careful, and Edwards seems much more relaxed. Just looks at Obama & Clinton's faces... there is strain showing, not attacking but I am seeing hesitancy! IMHO!

16. well, That's an opinion I haven't heard before...
Not that I agree, of course, because he happens to be a pretty brilliant guy.

17. just a gestalt from a Kucinich supporter
which raises questions about my own intelligence...

I was just really impressed with the depth of thought and the argument construction by Obama (perhaps taken in by his law professor style of speech); and Hillary also had some sort of big picture grasp that was compelling to listen too. Edwards is more courtroom in his delivery, more populist I guess and was probably speaking on a different level for his own reasons. I'm probably not giving him enough credit. I would, however, like to hear from him how he intends to take down corporate America. I think we all agree that it needs to be done, all get riled up when he expresses our indignation, but I don't hear his plan.

15. Of Course He IS!
He is honest, and speaking from his heart and soul about what he believes in!
And how great he knows we can be! If only we can cast off CORPORATE SHACKLES and be a PEOPLE owned Democracy again!
