Debating Democrats
On Tuesday the Democrats were at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA with another debate in which many people were expecting fireworks. Prior to the debate Senator Barack Obama said he’d be getting more aggressive with Senator Hillary Clinton and did he deliver.
Not only did he deliver, but Senator John Edwards seemed to be the most aggressive one on stage on Tuesday night. Although he seemed to be going too far at times, sometimes going after her character itself. It was important for Clinton to get attacked a bit that night, and especially important for Obama and Edwards, but as Governor Bill Richardson put it, it seemed like they were just attacking her character and she may have won some sympathy votes.
As for who won the debate, I believe Obama had the best performance. He attacked Clinton but didn’t attack her too much, which he needed to do to show that he can stand up when he needs to. Clinton stumbled when confronted with the issue about drivers licenses for illegal immigrants, which is a horrible idea by the way.
I really do wish that Joe Biden had a better chance of being the Democratic nominee, but it doesn’t look good. Though he should be considered by everyone in about sixty four days, I heard at least three times someone say “I agree with Joe,” or “Joe is right.” He really hit the head with one specific thing though…
Pakistan is the biggest threat to the United States… not Iran.
Joe Biden hit the head when he said that. Iran does not have nuclear weapons yet, while Pakistan does. Pakistan really is out of control. There have been multiple bombings there that have been linked to the Taliban and even Al Qaeda. Now, please tell me. What’s a bigger threat? Iran wanting nuclear weapons or Pakistan having nuclear weapons while unstable. On MSNBC.com they reported that there might be a state of emergency in Pakistan. It really doesn’t come close. Hopefully the media catches on to what Biden said and digs into that story a bit deeper.
Keep your eye out on the news. Pakistan seems to be falling apart.
