so i did watch last night's dem debate. sadly, i feel the  victor was hillary, who was remarkably assured: articulate, forceful, knowledgeable. edwards attacked obama and hil on leadership issues. he's right, but i feel like he's still stumbling. the one moment i will really take away with me is biden getting actually angry and  with true passion calling for (minimal, it's true)  military intervention in darfur, as against everyone else on the stage. also against everyone else on stage he voted, loudly, to fund the war in iraq.  of course, i agree with people like kucinich and gravel on this one, but biden is beginning to impress me with his guts.
