Tonight was supposed to be the night. The gloves were to be thrown down; the fight was to be fought. This was Hillary’s last stand after losing eleven straight caucuses. Somehow though, the reaction of the audience in early scuffles discouraged the two opponents from continuing on throughout the night. Instead, a civil, and what seemed to be almost friendly discourse evolved throughout the night. After the healthcare explosion, the mood lightened and issues were discussed. Could it be that politicians saw a real glimmer of what America wants in this brief 90 minute debate? Do we really care about the pointless issues that are drawn out all day long on the ten different news networks? Do we REALLY think Michelle Obama has been anti-American for the majority of her adult life? Do we really think Bill Clinton is a racist? For the majority of this campaign, the media has made it about anything but the issues. Finally tonight we got what we wanted. We heard the differences in their plans on healthcare. We heard their differences on withdrawal from Iraq. We heard their immediate plans of action for the mortgage crisis Americans are facing. For once, the coverage was not about whether Barack Obama is a plagiarizer, or if Hillary Clinton is desperate. Kudos to the candidates tonight, especially when they took control and continued to debate the issue of healthcare heatedly though professionally and without unfair or personal attacks.
