The begining and the end for Clinton were the highlights of the night, but the most obvious and unquestionable factor that came out again last night is that Obama is unable to talk smoothly or properly when he is off script!

He has proven his true being that when it comes down to core specifics, he is completely non-intelligent, grasping at words! His studdering and his constant long silences searching for words to answer simple questions proves him to be lacking in substance! And this is just when confronting an opponent, how will he be when confronting another head of state?

At least David Letterman will be able to keep his “great moments in Presidential speeches” going after Bush leaves if Obama is the next President!

I am disappointed though in Clinton not putting an end to Obama’s continual repeating of his Iraq War judgement he stumps, when he flip flopped on it with Tim Russert, that is the truth of the matter!

I am also again disappointed in the tactics of CNN trying to push Clinton into a corner and hardly touching their darling Obama, but there again, there isn’t much to say about a 5 liner stump speecher who’s entire platform is basically taken from Clinton’s plans!

That is the Xeroxing that is the real basis of debate, a copier cannot enact what an originator designed, plain and simple!

It’s for others to do, and the MSM really hasn’t done this except sporadically and occasionally.

It would have to be done by a 527, and Obama’s lawyers are alreasy threatening Hillary with lawsuit, blah blah.

Most of these scare tactics are to halt info from coming out. And to halt negative info about Obama prior to convention.We’ll see.

But Hillary’s internet fundraising is inferior to Obama’s as he works from a huge Rolodex that self perpetuates. People match other’s contribution dollar for dollar and follow with letters from donors who matched original contribution.

In some instances, a $50 “match contribution” generates match donors to come up with $50 and sends a thank you to original contributor. This also bonds people. $50.00 becomes $100 when three “matchers”
come up from Obama’s internet Rolodex.

Who the hell did Hillary hire to fundraise on internet that keeps asking the same people to contribute over and over again? Her internet crew have not been original and this a leadership problem arising from Mandy Gruenwald, or Wolfson, whomever is in charge of this.

The only way to change cult/clone syndrome is to uncover real facts that have substance and need no editorializing, as the truth could do the job.

And vote often

Better to go with the first part, and Hillary would have scored a bigger point.

She still did not close on his allegations that some people cannot afford healthcare [15 million], and we know Hillary has better plan, but she still could have been more finite. Most people don’t know anything about healthcare details, and Obama has been bamboozling on this.

She was substantive, but she avoided Iraq Obama attack which she will be obliged to deal with GOP, if she is nominee. She’s explained it before and should have explained it again….and better.

She was terrific at the end. Her closing was perfect. Overall she was more interesting and dynamic. I found that he drones on, and while he has a sense of humor, there’s a lot of generalities when he explains. But his debating skills are improving.

She needs to show the voters that she won’t penalize them if some can’t afford healthcare, as they are being influenced by Obama that this will happen. She must show the alternative and change this perception and [fear] Obama tries to create.

He says that Hillary’s plan “garnishees their wages”. Entirely misleading, but it needs to be carefully taken down.

No party knows how to lose as spectacularly as the Democratic party…

2. However, the really memorable moment was the finale. She owned it. The live audience knew it, she seemed to surprise herself a little when she realized it, and I sensed that even Obama knew it.

Yet to be seen the net effect, but at least some prospective voters will be saying to themselves, the bar was pushed higher for her, she saw it and said, I’ll take that bar and raise you a notch.

But the people (represented by some of those dailyobama sites I am fleeing from) have totally trashed her words and are basically parroting the pundits.It’s discouraging.

I think there’s a lot of meaning behind those words and it goes way beyond copying speeches. These elections are getting very scripted and I think we’re just playing tag team politics. I don’t think elections are in the hands of the people anymore, I think the media is being handed a script and we’re all like extras in a movie production.

Sorry, I just can’t seem to find a silver lining today.

And we will, or could, get candidates that we would be happy to vote for when we stop allowing the media to choose our candidate for us.

We will get the candidate we want, or say we want, when we allow candidates to tell us the truth instead of what most of us want to hear.

We will get the candidates we, or most of us, deserve so long as we use the same criteria to elect a president as we use to vote for somebody on American Idol.

And we will get the same bias, half-assed, dishonest, media we deserve so long as we tune into their crap and keep their ratings alive.

There, I’ve had my little rant too and I feel better and it’s lowered my blood pressure some which is fortunate since I don’t have any insurance and can’t afford any. Which is why I support Hillary Clinton because with her leadership I just might have a chance to get some. And thus just might live long enough to rant another day.
