There is no doubt that the level of debate needs to be elevated, but the only times that has happened is when there was a strong 3rd party candidate (a la Ross Perot and Ralph Nader). It doesn't necessarily mean that the debate was elevated as much as it should be, but...<BR/><BR/>Mab3oos, Welcome. I assure you I get angry quite a bit, but I do tend to contain it to conversations in my head... When I reflect on the success of Hillary's campaign, I see the lack of winning the nomination as the lesser issue. The fact that she finished her run $ 20 million in the red as a failure. I would worry about a President (or Vice) who was that comfortable spending large sums of money she doesn't have :). So, that's the context of my position. She gained alot for women and I respect that, but feel that her campaign was unsuccessful in some key areas.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to hear that you will be exercising your right to vote and I'll probably be joining you inyour choice of candidate...MommaBeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452302193049028569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26662000.post-45712516508365909462008-06-25T02:36:00.000-07:002008-06-25T02:36:00.000-07:00Wow mamabean, please don't hit me. I thought this ...Wow mamabean, please don't hit me. I thought this level of angry blogging is reserved to mab3oos!!<BR/><BR/>I will have to disagree with you on the first piece of news. Hillary ran a very successful campaign. obviously, she is not chosen as the dem. nominee. But, she was closer than an female candidate in the history of the USA. Even though she was hurt sometimes by the actions of Bill, she ran neck in neck to Obama. <BR/><BR/>in regard to the other story, sadly too many Americans feed on fear. The idea of someone attacking the US and lessening their enjoyment of life is broadcasted daily by the likes of fox and associates. However, I think their way of thinking is changing after those 8 miserable years of Bush and they, too, are looking for change. <BR/><BR/>One more thing, my first presidential vote ever is going to Obama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26662000.post-32892466225640836412008-06-25T02:07:00.000-07:002008-06-25T02:07:00.000-07:00wow I need a jack to pull my jaw back in place... ...wow I need a jack to pull my jaw back in place... is that really you saying all that, my respect to you grew quite a bit by the time i finished reading. to the extent that i'm almost speechless in my comment ;)<BR/><BR/>thank you <BR/><BR/>ps. i can't hold out by not saying anything related but one comment regarding the campaign in general is that, at this point in time especially, we are in dire need of elevating the level of the debate about issues that are not going to just impact the US but the whole world and what we got so far is nothing more than just another rerun of rove's campaign, one filled with smear, crass, and general fear mongering but this time we get a double dose no thanks to the hillbills. <BR/>So i am disappointed thoroughly and i'm sick of election news... and almost everyone else is ...No_Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11443783795297272286noreply@blogger.com
