6. Just listen to former CEO Eisner, he says she should be an appointed monarch
After seeing all the debate. I put this group of media clips together.


George Stephanopoulos - and an interview on his time in the Clinton White House.

Michael Eisner ABC CEO till 2005 - says Hillary Clinton should be appointed as a monarch instead of elected.

Walter Cronkite - Gives oath to Satan,(no joke, he says it) then Hillary Clinton congratulates him

7. I've got something! I've got something! Bear with me...
The "issues" raised during the first half of the debate have, in fact, been the issues that we haven't shut up about since that time.

Hrmmm... maybe ABC news was paying a little TOO much attention to viewers??

11. LOL!
I kept waiting for the picture I thought you had posted to load, then I looked down and realized the page was done loading!

I couldn't watch the debate, I got too disgusted and turned off the TV and played with my critters for awhile. Very relaxing.

12. I've got something. Not necessarily in defense of ABC, though I'm not completely convinced
that there wasn't some method in their madness.

Two reasons why I think this debate was very good, just as it was:

1. It was an opportunity for the SD's to see more of the character and electability of each of the candidates. In order to do this, they need to see how each responds to the inanity of the rw-type attacks. Obama excelled.

2. It was an opportunity for small-minded people who get stuck on such issues to hear their questions answered directly by Obama. He did a beautiful job. Such people despite having narrow minds and longstanding prejudices are also voters. They also care about what matters and they also are sick of politics as ususal.

All in all I thought it was a successful night for Obama, truly. Really I did. I'm not at all pissed off about it.
