I watched the New Hampshire primaries on TV tonight. I missed part of the Republican debates but then there isn't anyone I admire on the Republican list of candidates.
It is going to be interesting following the candidates until we have our Texas primaries in March when I'll have to make a decision to vote for just one person. I like a lot of things that each candidate said, including some things by Hillary. I didn't expect that. She has great determination and does have experience in a higher office but considering the money troubles and the hooplah of Whitewater I'm just not sure she can stay away from the big corporations. I have heard how much public money they spent when her husband was President, about things they took with them that belonged to the Whitehouse, their arrangement with their protection detail which is paid for by the taxpayers. She is experienced in working for herself I can say that.
I liked the things John Edwards said and his passionate ideals on taking money from lobbyists and getting rid of their influence in his cabinet if he were elected but then I've read that he has an illegimate child on the way. That could be opposition badmouthing or it could be true.
I liked what Governor Richardson said about having experience balancing the budget as governor and his experience working with international governments but there has not been much coverage on him in the news so I don't know any more about him.
Barack Obama clearly has a big audience but he can't really state a definitive plan for the change he is campaigning for. But I like him. Don't know if I'll vote for him until I hear more. I've read many slandering emails about him but can't believe everything you read about anyone. I thought he sounded sincere.
So that about takes care of the four Democratic candidates that debated tonight. I'm anxious to hear more from them and the other candidates and next time I'll mange to catch the Republican comments as well.
What is your opinion?
