I watched the debate and saw that ‘moment’ and think much is being made of it undeservedly. ... I don’t like or want her but I think this is being overplayed

Agreed.

Has America become so feminized that nobody can show any forcefulness without being accused of hurting somebody's overly sensitive feelings?

Do we really want to be a nation where everybody must come across as if they were auditioning for "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"? If so, let's just all vote for the Breck Girl in November.

As for me, no thanks. I already have to put up with too much of that crap out here on the Left Coast as it is.

Give me an America where a candidate for the Oval Office is not disqualified from the Oval Office by an "I paid for this microphone!" moment.

Hillary said her feelings were hurt, then the camera panned over to Chelsea who smiled.

I'm going out on a limb. No matter what the MSM does or doesn't do, I don't think either Hillary or Obama can win the presidency, maybe Obama VP on somebody else's coattails.

Obama is a child of privilege, nothing a regular American black can relate to or emulate if they see the truth. He may not be that bad of a guy, but is still a real wild card, a whole new card in the deck.

But each state and focus group overplays their importance in the bigger scheme of things.

Maybe the voters will decide they don't want this change. They want healthcare. Healthcare is meanlingless if another America city gets hit. It's the same old same old, what is best for me and not the country.

Still, the Republicans better make a better showing, because another Dem can win.

When the rubber hits the road, people will cling to the familiar, imperfect though it is.

Not much has been said about the south, some. Southern voters are not going to go for it, and I'm not just talking the evangelical bloc. But we shall see. I could be very wrong, of course, and I'm not sure I really believe it 100%, just throwing it out there.
