 Sat Apr 28, 2007 9:33 pm Obama vows to 'turn the page' on Iraq |
|
| Quote: | Wooing influential California Democrats, presidential contender Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record) vowed to "turn the page on this Iraq disaster" while Hillary Rodham Clinton denounced President Bush's conduct of the war as "one of the darkest blots on leadership we've ever had."
California, long a major cash source for candidates of both parties, is poised to become more influential in the electoral process as well, having moved its primary to next Feb. 5. As a result, the state Democratic weekend convention was expected to attract all the party's major presidential contenders except Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, who was campaigning in South Carolina.
Saturday's program featured appearances by front-runners Clinton and Obama, as well as Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd and Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich. |

It was entertaining watching the Dems argue over who's more anti-war and anti-Bush, lol. If there's anyone's plan on Iraq I could accept, it's Biden's. His three-entity solution makes sense to me and I very much agree with the essence of his plan. But I'd rather not have him in office, but he'd be better than the other candidates, on Iraq at a minimum.
If we're gonna chat about the debate as a whole here (which I recommend), I absolutely detested what each of the candidates said about the recent Supreme Court ruling upholding the ban on partial-birth abortion. It was disgusting, utterly disgusting. And it showed them how little they know about what Roe v. Wade actually said - which is also the case, btw, for a majority of pro-life folks. People on both sides don't know what it actually entails.

WHo do you think won the debate the other day? I was dissapointed with edwards and obama, did not do as well as i was expecting. I think Clinton was pretty good. She gave some very crisp answers. Also Biden did much better than expected IMO.
