Refreshing And Enlightening
[Read the article: Democratic debate sort-of-live blogging continued]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Finally, a debate on the issues!
I think both candidates did well. I'm proud of Hillary Clinton and I'm pleased with Barack Obama. Admittedly I'm a Hillary supporter, but I am pleased beyond words that for the first time in our history we Democrats have a real choice.
RE: comments I've read and heard that Hillary should apologize for her vote on the Iraq War. She is showing now in a well-thought-out plan that she has learned from that vote; apologizing for it isn't going to solve the problems created from W's use of the authorization, or getting our troops home, and taking care of them once they are home. I say, let's move forward and stop beating each other up over a vote and a decision that was made eight years ago and from which many people have learned a lesson.
Go Democrats!!

Always The Underdog
[Read the article: Undecided '08: Should I vote for Clinton or Obama?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I think about the start of Hillary Clinton's '08 presidential campaign way, way, way back when -- before the majority of us were even thinking about caucuses or Super-duper Tuesday -- and I am struck by something that gets inside my heart and my stomach and sits there like a hot stone: She has always been the underdog, nearly all of her public service life, and she is once again the underdog in spite of her early campaigning, her early "lead", her early money, and the predetermination about her nomination.
No wonder she started her campaign way, way, way back when. She understands that she is and will always be the underdog.
I'll give my vote to Hillary because of this. I know that because she is always the underdog, she will always fight for me and for us...
That is worth its weight in gold and speaks to the very depth of what really matters, when all the cards are on the table.
