Please, just a discussion.  We won't pick the president here.  Use your vote instead.

What's wrong with Hilary?  I was starting to come around to her (not saying she gets my vote over McCain) and then this from the debate last night:

Moderator:  Do you think Senator Obama can beat Senator McCain?

Hilary:  Yes, yes, yes - I think he'd win. [paraphrased]

Why?  Why not take this opportunity to say, "No, I don't think he can win," and leave it at that?  When pressed (you will be), talk POLICY!!!  Would've been a smart move to get some undecided vote decided.

Instead we spend most of the debate talking about how they've messed up in the past 2 weeks.  Weird.  No wonder people don't get more involved.  I don't like that we have pundits moderating.  Seems like the wrong group of people focused on the things that turn me off to politics at this level.

On a lighter sadder note, one for the vault.  President Bush, while hosting the British PM Gordon Brown in Washington D.C. today, said:

"And so ah, so long as I'm the President, my, my measure of success is victory... and success."

10 months.  10 months.
