Bennett brought back some adult sanity to last night's food fight - cheap shots aimed mostly at Biden. Yea, I get it that they each are trying to "break out" of the pack, but cheap/ancient shots (let alone taking valuable time to trash Obama) only proved that those who indulged prefer the gutter to grace. We need to restore integrity and stature to the Presidency! Why, oh why, would we eat our own when someone goes low, someone else would go lower?

I crossed off my "preference" list several of the candidates on stage last night. That is all.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Is he would have been elected in pre social media obsessed politics. He has good ideas, composure, record, easy to like...but he's just a tad forgettable. He's not going to provide big zingers or try act cool.

That's not a bad thing. In fact I admire it. But elections have become glamourized. It's wrong, but it won't change now.

He is a superior candidate. Glad to hear him talk about education - both in Quality, and Inequality.

In my mind, the health care issue is WAY TOO COMPLEX to handle in this one minute, two minute type of sparring. No one can finish even the outline of a program in that type of scenario. But guess that's the point, if the moderators goal is to confuse the public.

I would think there is more integration now than there was then.
