1. Not a convert
But I've changed from a nose holder if he's the nominee, into a an enthusiastic voter.

that good enough? ;)

9. Actually, that's awesome!
I'm an Obama-guy, but I can honestly say that I won't hold my nose if Hillary gets the nomination.

11. There will be no justice if Clinton is the nominee
Not only am I not convinced she can win the General, I highly doubt that anything will change to any great degree if she is elected. More of the same is not a viable answer for me.

13. I never said I was pro Clinton.
Either way, I'm going to have to blindfold myself when I go to vote so my eyes can't see what my hand is doing.

18. Now that I can agree with!
It's going to be tough either way, although I lean to Obama a decent amount. I'm still not thrilled either way.

3. He was entertaining, and got a lot of good lines in.
But he's no Kucinich or even Edwards.

32. It is up to our leaders to inspire them and ask them to sacrifice something for this country.

7. Sorry, I only say goofy shit for Edwards.
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 10:33 PM by Heaven and Earth
I will say that Obama is easing my concerns that he would be more interested in a faux unity than taking it hard to Republicans. I'm much more comfortable having Obama making the "right from the beginning argument" against McCain than Hillary making that mess she just made again.

12. Are you serious?
They will filet him like a salmon on his refusal to cut funding votes. That's a vote for the war and it will play like a stradivarius to their independent pukes.

Plus they will make it worse. They will say he can't even make up his mind. Against it before he was for it. Look for it...it's coming.

30. But they can't say Clinton
changed her position. She voted just the same as McCain.

That's my point. Obama was against before and then kept funding it. Kerry deja vue in reverse. It will be irrefutable and they will use it to death.

Obama is going to be unpopular enough to their base already and you know why. This will just put the cherry on the cake for them.

It's the independents that are absolutely essential here. If they go to McCain, we have a President McCain simple as that.

10. you got me
Edwards supporter and I still am, but I'm voting for Obama after this debate. Senator Clinton did great, don't get me wrong but Senator Obama swayed me to vote for him.

Both Edwards and Obama understand that.

15. I switched to Obama yesterday, after Edwards dropped out, and I contributed $$ today
I didn't watch the debate, only followed the debate threads in DU.

I watched the season premiere of "Lost."

24. Will be eventually, but am still licking my wounds over losing Kucinich
and Edwards. I can never give Hillary a pass on the IWR although I admire her greatly.

27. Really.. which debate were you watching?
He certainly didn't get his "clock" cleaned. I'll give you a tie - but it's pretty ignorant to say that either one of them beat up the other tonight. Grow up.
