Tonight's Debate

My favorite question from the Democratic debate tonight (directed to Senator Clinton):

"You have claimed that your presidency would bring real change to America. I am 38 years old, and I have never had an opportunity to vote in a presidential election in which a Bush or a Clinton wasn't on the ticket. How can you be an agent of change, when we have had the same two families running Washington for the last 30 years?"

Zing!

I don't dislike Hillary as much as some, simply because she is fairly graceful in the unenviable position of trying to run for president without being seen first and foremost as a woman. Doesn't mean I'm voting for her, but I respect her. I would love to hear my housemates' opinions on the way the elections are shaping up...

Also. Spotted in the audience: Pierce Brosnan, lookin' hot.

Also also. My housemate came in, slightly intoxicated, saw Senator Obama on the screen, and ran over and patted his face. Someone is a fan.
