    The knives don't cut it

    Although I am an Obama supporter, I do not feel either side benefitted from the argumentative, back-biting portion of the debate. I do appreciate that they both managed to contain the nastiness to a specific portion of the debate. Too bad "John" is not even considered a remote threat by the Obama or Clinton campaigns. He has some excellent ideas, though they seem to have lost their relevance, thanks to the spin doctors.
