[Vision2020] tonight's democratic debate

[Sue Hovey]

Well the pundits give the debate to him, and seems to me when one analyzes the answers he is an articulate speaker who is absolutely unflappable and she is much more knowledgeable on foreign policy and other issues.  She is the more clearly intelligent thinker.  I'm still with her. This morning one comentator says Obama's a great communicator nearly on a par with Ronald Reagan. I'd like to think we're searching for more.  

In reference to last night's debate and the need not to offend the Jewish community, I'd like the candidates to discuss the mid-east conflict from a perspective that when it comes to Israelis and Arabs both groups have grievances that must be dealt with in fairness and with an admission that the creation of the state of Israel did in fact displace people who were living there, the 6 day war did displace even more, and today those issues are far from settled.

  Any comments about tonight's debate?  I thought Obama won, unlike the debate two weeks ago.  Here's a prediction:  When he gets the nomination, he will pick Bill Richardson for Vice President.  Further prediction:  I will do cartwheels in glee.  But as much as I like Richardson -- which is to say, very much -- I would, if I were advising Barack Obama, recommend that he reach across the aisle, diffuse the monopoly on military background that McCain has claimed, and choose Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel.  He's a fiscal moderate, a social moderate, a staunch opponent of the war in Iraq, and lends the foreign policy/military service gravitas that some say Obama lacks.
