A Democratic donnybrook

The debate was rich in sound and fury, but did little lasting damage to unruffled frontrunner Barack Obama.

    Change!

    Of course this is a change election! What is it with the political dialogue in this country? Have we all become so simpleminded during the conservative junta that we can no longer think complex thoughts?I doubt that there are more than a few people in this country,religious nutcases,who don't want change even if they won't admit it.There are few defenders of the Bush disaster, only people who profit from it at the expense of everyone else in the country. I think that is one of many threads Obama has tapped into, people who voted for Bush twice and are now so embarrassed but unwilling to be beat up for it. They don't want to admit to being so dumb twice but they do want change.I would like for someone to please tell me how Hillary does not represent change? Why do the Republicans hate her so much, why have they spent millions demonizing both the Clintons if they don't represent change? A person can be both experienced and an agent of change at the same time they are not mutually exclusive traits.
