re surge working

Clinton. “23 americans dying in December is unacceptible.”

Richardson. He weaves back and forth from being lucid and then stammering. He is hammering the desk in front of him in a distracting manner.

Obama. sounds stonger and more confident re Iraq.

Edwards. “I will listen to military.” He sounds like a competent leader re military affairs. edwards is a smooth, comfortable and confident speaker. Consistent thus far.

Richardson. He’s getting a little lost in complexity. “PTSD” he isn’t using simple languge.

Clinton. I will “task” the joint chiefs. Awkward use of task as a verb.

All our attacking each other. They are becoming more forceful. Clinton seems much more forceful.

Obama was strong.

Richardson had great laugh line “I’ve been in hostage neg. more civil than this.” He seemed statemanlike.

Candidates were talking about “change” “change” “change” to the point of sounding silly.

Edwards. Sounds very populist. Bashing corporations.

Obama is getting better as the night wears on.

Cinton re change. She doesn’t seem comfortable attacking Obama on issue of change. She says he changes his posiiton on healthcare. She is stammering a little.

Obama. Stammering a little in his defense of his healthcare policies. He comes out in favor of higher payroll taxes.

Clinton.

Edwards. speaks in favor of being calm. Seems stateman-like.

Obama. His stripped tie is pixilating. White shirt is bad. He still sounds a little hesitant.

Clinton. She sounds conversational, confident, experienced.
She sounds tough re retaliating. Clinton looks good in green.

Richardson. He’s so low in the polls–he doesn’t seem relevant here.

Obama. Sounded slightly hesitant on first foreign policy question.

Edwards. Looks and sounds comfortable and confident. Knowledgeable about players in Pakistan. Tie and suite look good. white shirt is too bright.

Richardson. Looks like a slob. Tie is loose at top. He is fat–really fat. Sorry, but voters hate fat candidates. He didn’t sound good either.

Clinton. Sounds hesitant in first answer. Sounds competent, a little boring, but stable.

Richardson sounds pie in the sky asking pakistan’s president to just step down.

Barack Obama. Sounds like he is losing his voice.
