A Democratic donnybrook

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

    Obama represents nothing but platitudes

    As defiant as Hillary seemed last night, she was 100% right. Why does Obama represent change? Because he claims to? Because he doesn't have a lot of experience? Because he's African-American? The press is leaping on this idea that people are embracing change by choosing Obama, but all I have seen him do is talk about how he represents change, how the people "want a part in their government," or "want to know the government is listening." What does he stand for? Hillary answers questions in a straightforward, presidential way. She's the best candidate. And I'm disappointed that this country is still too sexist to see her potential.
