Who shone brightest in the presidential debate?


The face-off between Democratic Presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton took place last night and for the most part they tried to appear cordial to each other. I didn't watch the entire debate but I felt both of them did a good job, although Clinton was evasive in some of her responses, especially on health care. I'm still Team Obama, though.

So, let's hear from you in the poll in the sidebar...who triumphed in the debate, Obama or Clinton?

Have a good weekend!

    I’m sitting at home surfing the channels for something to watch and would you believe, when ever there is news on the Presidential Debates in USA, I get glued. There has not been an election that has sparked so much interest in all time, not just mine. Lots of it has to do with the players, all having some “first ever” syndrome, first Mormon Romney, first old man Mc Cain, first woman Clinton and first Black, Obama. Historically I may be wrong, but who is checking?

    Presidential Debate

    Polarized at the pinnacle of history
    Republicans fighting Democrats for supremacy
    Elections in the USA are revved to the max
    Sources say it’s one for women or one for the blacks
    I have been following with unusual inquiries
    Debates by these parties leading up to the primaries
    Eyes on every mannerism, on known gestures and traits
    Nothing escapes me during these Presidential Debates
    Then out come the polls to tell me who won
    I may be bias because Obama always beats Clinton
    And puzzling women, black women especially
    Listening to gender bias and lobbying with solidarity
    Don’t know how gender can ever trump race
    Equal rights for blacks should be their preface
    Blacks in American deserve a more equal right
    Although Barack’s campaigning isn’t about this fight
    This fresh mind seeks a change that will encompass
    Everyone no matter their age, gender, race or class
