Austin Debates

[Laurel Scott]

I applaud the organizers of the Austin debate for bringing in Univision and having Jorge Ramos on the panel.

I'm so glad Obama mentioned the DREAM act :)

When Hillary would strike one at him, he'd always have a good answer :thumbup: as a response. Did you see how Hillary said his speeches were a "xerox" copy? She was accusing him of plagerism for using a sentence that the author herself encouraged him to use! What was THAT all about?

[~MP~]

Am i the only that thinks Hilary has a fake smile....lol...

Ok, I have to ask, why don't you like Hilary? I can't believe all the hating she's getting. Please girls. Remember how long it's taken for us to have rights and how men view us like their property and are so afraid of a woman being our President. Just remember Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cody Stanton. We should be behind the woman for President. Come on, like I heard a woman radio talk show host say "You're willing to let Obama get a free ride to the Presidency?" I don't like Obama for President, I hadn't even heard about him until now and Hilary is a great woman. I admire her.

I dont hate her...she is my second choice...I just thought her smirk was kind of funny through out the whole debate...

I never said I hate Hillary. I'm a woman. I'm all for "power to the women". When I was a child I always dreamed of seeing a woman be president. Now that the time is here, I now realize that it's not just "a woman" running for president. Just because she's a woman, doesn't mean I should vote for her. It's who's the BEST PERSON for the job. It's not a man against a woman. It's 2 intelligent people against the voters for the presidency. After lots of research I beleive Obama is the BEST person for this job.

You probably haven't heard about Obama until now because his time is NOW to make himself known. I'm sure the people of Illinois know him well already. He's helped pass a lot of good legislation. Noone knew about Hillary until Bill Clinton came along. There's no need to get upset because he's making himself known. If you think he's getting a "free pass to the presidency", well, don't you remember, in 1992, Hillary got a free pass to be "first lady". And I admit, she was a damn good first lady! And she put up with a lot of bull crap! I commend her. Obama needs that same fair chance for the so called "free pass" so he can be admired as well.

[Brisa6]

Well, I haven't researched Obama, but honestly he doesn't speak well. He repeated a lot of what Hilary said last night and I got upset when he sounded like the GOP. People need to get in line...

[LilB]

Of course, Brisa. They're both Democrats. When a democratic nominee is chosen, they will support each other because they are very similar in their views. And, Hillary also repeated what Obama would say in some instances when it was Obama that was asked the debate question first. It can be hard for 2 democrats with similar views to "debate". Even the critics after the debate agreed with that. :) A lot of his speeches are on youtube. Even if you don't like him, you should check them out. I listen in on Hillary's all the time to see what she has to say. He is a great speaker. In that debate, it wasn't really a speech. Either way, It's one of the best and interesting races I have seen in a long time.

On my opinion I think that they think alike but I want Hillary to win and if she dont then I will vote for Obama. My brother wants any of them two too win too. So we just have kto wait and see. On the other hand my youngest sister says that there is no way that they could win the presidential because Hillary is a woman and Obama is African American . She could be wrong so I guess we are just going to sit down and wait for the results. I am going to vote on MArch 4 if I dont vote early I still have till the 29 of this month or else I am going to have to wait for the big day that will be on the 4th of March.

[LilB]

China, it's wonderful to see your family involved in the process no matter who they choose. I see you are in Texas as well. Do you know where to go vote early?

For you Texans like me, early voting is now through the 29th of Feb. Or you can wait till March 4th.

Look at this link to verify if you're registered and WHERE to vote (Texans):
