Although I am supporting Obama, I have to give this one to John Edwards. He spoke most passionately for change and he did a good job of hogging the mic time.
Its true, a lot of class warfare rhetoric but so was all the other Democrats. He did talk about one positive thing... the problem with corruption in the government... although he provided no plans to stop it... if you think lobbyists are the only problems, you are wrong... it is politicians "securing" contracts with companies from "friends" and "family"..
I believe he won also. Many people talk about wanting experience, well, how much more experience does one want them being raised in the NC mill areas. I know those areas and people have worked very hard to build a life there and its all about gone now.
Edwards speaks of how he will penalize corporations who move out and reward those who stay. He speaks of not allowing lobbyist even to the White House. He even spoke of Unions which no other candidate on either side has spoke of.
If he is passionate as he says he is, he is the libs side change leader.
So I would say Edwards, Richardson, Obama and then Hillary.

I don't have a problem with class warfare. Class warfare is what we need. The Republicans declared war on the working class 8 years ago. It is time for the working people to declare war on the republicans now. BTW who was the idiot Republican that defended the big drug companies tonight?

The big contrast was between the Republican and the Democratic fields. The Republicans, aside from Huckabee, looked like a bunch of cranky, self-satisfied men.
I was glad that Hillary really stood up for herself and didn't let "the boys" define or bully her.
Clinton made most sense to me tonight. The rest: pretty words/not enough sense.
Yes, Bill's little marionette was in top form. She seemed to have recovered from her brush with reality in Iowa.
