1. The democratic debate was interesting. Not as much mud slinging. Hillary is doing a good job of not being despicable. I think she is continually improving her likeability. But then again, when you're touted as the least likable person on the table, there's nowhere to go but up.

2. The audience roared uncontrollably on the thought of a Clinton/Obama (or Obama/Clinton) ticket. If the two dems want to trade their pride for the office, I think that transaction is readily available. I think it would be very hard for the Repubs to win under those circumstances.

3. The republican debate was disappointing for me. CNN invited all four candidates, and only let two of them talk. They almost focused their questions completely on Mc and Rom. What an insult to the others.

4. Why do moderators continue to chime in with , "so and so just took a stab at you". You know, in some cases they did (stab), and in some cases they didn't. Either way, the candidates are smart people, they don't need jokers trying to stir up drama out of thin air.

5. Romney is growing a likeability problem from where I sit. Almost as if he's caught the disease from HRC as she cures. More and more he's showing a defensive demeanor, and an almost abrasive attitude with come back comments. Aren't we talking about the President of the United States here? There are massive problems on the table. If I hear one more word about the Olympics, I just might break out into a conniption. Part of me feels like comparing Olympics to Presidency is like telling the world you are going to take your tee box lemonade stand all the way to Fortune 500.
