Just got done watching the debate, the first Democratic debate I've seen for '08. A couple things:
Joe Biden was great. He struck me as a leader with a strong inner compass. His reaction to the gun question at the end of the debate was great. He went from being a nobody for me to a contender.
Obama continued to impress. The way he handles the audience is impressive. I think he can be a uniter for the USA.
Hillary began to make progress with me. I still think she is too divisive of a figure for the presidency.
Edwards sank like a stone. The key point in the debate for him was the gay marriage question. I find it hard to believe his faith will not affect the decisions he makes as president on this issue.
Richardson, Dodd, Kucinich...good, but eh.
Gravel is just plain funny.

Edwards sank like a stone.
He made a huge comeback with this new video:

Edwards tanked the gay marriage question. He looked very uncomfortable. However, he was honest when giving his opinion and stated that his personal beliefs would not be imposed upon the American people if he was President..silly statement when you think about it. Of course personal beliefs play a role in the decisions one makes as President.
Was anyone else thinking an Obama-Clinton ticket (Obama Pres or V.P, doesn't matter) with Joe Biden as Sec of State or Defense? -

I don't think Edwards should be tossed out because of his beliefs on gay marriage. I appreciate the fact that he was truthful and you could get a straight answer out him! After Hillary's last debate, I didn't have a clue what she was thinking...last night she seemed a little more on point. Obama just seems so green (as in new) to me...just doesn't seem to have what I would like to see in a President at the moment. He looks great down the road for sure. I don't know if Edwards or Obama will be willing to be Hillary's VP!!!
