1_61_edwards_clinton_obama.jpgI have to say I enjoyed this debate quite a bit.  After the first half snipe fest, the candidates sat down and conversed.  Obama seemed much more at ease at that point and was actually quite gracious and funny about being on the receiving end of the Clinton/Edwards tag team. 

But most importantly, I felt like we were finally getting to enjoy the benefits of having a woman and an African American as frontrunners in the race.  Perhaps it was because the field has now narrowed to three, but a lot more time seemed to be devoted to discussing the subjects of equality, equal pay and social justice as core Democratic values by candidates who were speaking from the heart, from experience. 

I was actually quite proud of them all.
