Colony News: 2008 Presidential Race

It was a battle at the Democratic Presidential Candidates debate, which aired on CNN on Monday evening.
Clinton came out with her weapons blazing against Obama, and Obama made it clear that he wasn't sure if he was running against Hilary or both Bill and Hilary Clinton. There was talk about voting records, the Iraqi war, health care, and immigration and throughout most of it, Clinton and Obama werre going toe to toe, with John Edwards left looking like more of a guest than a participant in the debate. Later on though, he pointed out that their attacks and battles were not going to do anything for the children of America or better the school systems, which was what they should be focusing on, and not the silly rivalries.
Overall, I thought it was a great debate, and it shows that all Democrats, like all Republicans, are not made the same. Political parties have similar ideals, but when it all boils down, each of these people are individuals with their own individual morals, goals, and opinions. The bottom line is: Who among all of the candidates will be the best person to bring the United States out of the recession, bring our troops safely home, and secure America's position as the best country in the world.
