CLINTON: Neither one of us would have either predicted -- you know, not very long ago -- we would be sitting here. And it is a great tribute to the Democratic Party and to America.
i think you missed her point. we've had 42 presidents in over 200 years. all of them white males.

Has there ever been a female candidate before?
not for president, but Geraldine Ferraro ran for VP with Walter Mondale in 84
edit: also winona duke ran with Ralph Nader under the Green Party

edit: I believe there has been a black female candidate on the ballot, but was for a very small party that because of campaign rules was not in any debates.
You think they'll run together? Or is that a nobody knows deal at this point?
I thought it was a good debate... democrats dont wanna put up targets for the republicans to shoot at. I thought both got their points across and they both seem to be the same candidate for the most part. I support Obama cause I think the ways hes different are ways that im different from Hillary stance wise. Also, hillary did throw one too many of those smirks and laughs while obama was responding... that shit was immature.
I think Obama has a big chance. Ann Coulter is a Nazi... jesus... I feel bad for hillary.
So... McCain is like undoubtable the republican frontrunner at this point huh? Or does Romney still have a chance? Dude comes off like a Frickin' used car salesman, while McCain comes off as some spooked out Nam Vet.
I hope McCain wins for the republicans because that dude cant Frickin' speak for shit. He studders and shit.
Watching both recent debates I just realized how lackluster pretty much ALL of the candidates are cept Hillary and Obama. I hope Obama wins but I'll take Hillary with a smile still.
Wolf Blitzer was doing a pretty awful job out there.
"So you're basically saying that you were naive when you voted..."
Say word....I hate that prick. At one point Obama basically states his confidance in his ability to be the best president for the current situation in the US and Wolf says "senator Clinton that was a DIRECT swipe at you, do you care to answer?"......how desperate can you sound for some drama?

yup
Or does Romney still have a chance?
Depends how the investigation into the whisper incident turns out. Multiple forensic audio experts are having a field day with it right now.

Don't worry. Ron Paul will most likely go the third party route and steal some extra votes from McCain. Besides that, there is no way that the republicans are going to win this year, if you ask me.
Damn Keith, I just went and tracked down that clip to post in here, and you beat me to it. Cut me off at the pass, but fuck it:
And btw, between that debate, his donations and the Coulter endorsement (keeding), I think Obama supporters should be feeling pretty good about Tuesday. Even keeping it close would be pretty good for him, but Im feeling like he'll do even better than that....
y'all Obama riders can't see that he's in league with Coulter? obviously his campaign reached out and paid for this. shit is a work.
There has never been a Catholic President, a black Secretary of State, or open gay members of Congress before the not so distant past. So what? The fact that there are finally viable black and female presidential candidates shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone. Hillary Clinton is not going to be Bill Clinton reduxe.
I didn't watch the debate but Volfgang is terrible. He holds that pen like a security blanket. I don't know if he has ever actually used it?
Last night Blarnity & Colmes also had John Cleese co-moderating a panel of undecided voters (?!)
I think Obama will have some trouble Tuesday, although he is up in some southern states, tied in Conn, down by 3 in CA (most recently). But Clinton is & has been way ahead in most states. Polls haven't accurately predicted recent spreads, but I still think Clinton has the edge. Obama needs another boost, maybe a big endorsement ...
And yea... wolf was being a bitch the whole debate. I wish we had someone throwing us softballs like the republicans do. Wolf is like... "so are you saying shes a bitch, is that what your saying?" "Hillary did you hear Obama call you a bitch, you think you could take him in a fight or are you a little girl like he said"
hehe... yea... so fuck wolf blitzer... that guy is a major dissapointment for such an awesome name. He shoulda led a death metal band or something.

It's not the surprise factor that there are qualified people. It's more that, "holy shit, they're the frontrunners after 400+ years of racial and patriarchal exclusion."

Oh ok, thanks. I was curious about that.

What do you think she cost??

How do you think he keeps so slim?

but what's his brand? and no I am not trying to turn this into a race thread.

It's a big deal.
I don't think he'll lose any votes over it, as long as he doesn't smoke Montclair
