The Historic Debate #3

Now Sen. Obama is the one moving his lips while I hear Hillary's voice. I think that the TV feed is about a minute or so ahead of the web feed.

Sen. Obama is making the best points, in my opinion, but Hillary isn't doing too bad. Interesting how great her skin looks on a large HDTV. She's about the same age as my mom (who is only a few days older than former President Clinton) and either has taken well care of her skin or has had some work done. I'm hoping she hasn't had work done, I don't think that plastic surgery is much of a sign of authenticity. Call me crazy but I do look for authenticity in politicians and greatly appreciate it when I can find it.

I also saw the new Obama campaign advert with Caroline Kennedy comparing Sen. Obama to her father. Well done. Positive adverts are much better than mud-slinging adverts in my opinion. Yes, I know about and have seen the famous "daisy" advert that aired in 1964. Though that one of LBJ's adverts only ran once, it was very effective, but that was because it told people what to fear. Sen. Obama's adverts have, from what I've seen, mostly been positive and that is a nice refreshing change.
