as i watched the debate last night i couldn't believe how no matter how many times sen.obama tried to turn the debate to actual issues that matter he just kept getting hammered on these non issues.  i thought sen. clinton could've taken the oppurtunity to show that she actually is about a dem winning in the fall and not her own agenda  she didn't.   what i don't understand are the talking heads who keep telling me how bad obama did that he looked frustrated and defensive, that's kind of the point.  all along he has been talking about a new kind of politics and not letting these non issue distractions take our attention away from the real problems that face our country, so to me his frustration was warrented and only reinforced to me that he means what he says about this campaign, and frankly i think all of these insiders don't really no the american people as well as they think.  we let this kind of attacks  take us down the road we are on now in this country and i believe that whether you are a republican or a democrat the country is ready for a choice between to candidates who really what to discuss policy and issues and not who the other waved to ten years ago and could he please explain why he chooses or doesn't choose the accessories he wears.  there is only one candidate in this scenerio who has consistantly gone over the top negative and it isn't mcain or obama.  sen clinton has insisted she learned her lesson during her husbands term unfortunately i think obama is right she learned all the wrong ones.
