somewhere Tim Russert is watching Wolf Blitzer and saying - god damn it! why didn't i think of that question last time?!
 
Quick question: What does the voter registration card look like and can I bring that "California Primary Election" paper booklet with me to vote so that I know all the propositions and shit?

I'm a first time voter and have no idea what to bring, etc.. when I go to vote. :(
 
as an Obama supporter, I can't really say that either candidate clearly knocked it out of the park over the other one.

both did really well- both in terms of answers and presentation. I don't see this really changing the polls substantially, but If Obama keeps moving in the direction he has been (gaining support nationally and key states) hillary will have a lot to worry about on tuesday.
 
I thought Barack was excellent, his best debate so far.

Hillary was pretty good, too, but she stepped in a few huge puddles, like on her Iraq vote and her contradictions on her experience.

So..... how does Obama give his face such a "smooth" shave?

magic shave, maybe. Black men are really prone to razor bumps, so a lot of guys I know use this over shaving.

I have sensitive skin so it burns the hell out of me, but it does work.
 
they jumped around the question for obvious reasons, but its pretty damn obvious that hillary or obama will make the call to each after one gets the nomination.
 
I don't think I've ever felt more even about both candidates.

I'll give the slight edge to Obama though, a couple things I agree with more.

Psuedo-Edit: Wtf, are they signing autographs?
 
I believe Hillary won because Obama needed this debate to deliver a knockout punch before Super Tuesday. The rest of the country is still not very familiar with him, and he was just good...Not spectacular!
 
Obama is looking a bit lifeless signing those autographs. Clinton seems a lot more engaing. Minor, yes. But there it is.

The big guys in the party will pressure them together too! That ticket is potentially fucking out of this world.

Because people are asking for them. You don't want to be the candidate who turns down an autograph when your opponent doesn't. lol
 
Hillary was doing great till she ran into the Iraq vote question.

She didn't admit it was a mistake either. :lol


OBAMA 08!!!

I disagree. Obama's appeal is based around the impression that he's bringing change to washington. He doesn't NEED hillary on the ticket to gain ground with moderate republicans and independents- he already has them in droves.

Hillary on the other hand DOES need barack's appeal against someone like mccain.
 
i'm not heavy into politics but I am a democrat....my question is if someone can summarize veeery briefly...what is Mccain's appeal? ....I mean, he seems to be doing rather well thus far

correct answer.

then again, Obama has an awful lot of ex-Clinton advisers on his team.
