Democratic South Carolina Debate

At the first full democratic presidential debate, 4 of the 8 candidates agreed that the United States is involved in a War on Global Terrorism. Hillary, Obama, Edwards and Richardson were all in agreement in voting for the bill to set up a timetable for the troops and to send them home.

However, time will tell whether or not the bill will hold and if President Bush will endorse it. Under the threat of a veto, it will seem unlikely. Edwards also commented that he was very unhappy in his vote for war in 2003 and has said it was a mistake. He vows now to stand firm to his beliefs and to vote the right way. Hillary on the other hand defends her vote for the authorization of war. Things are warming up for a pretty interesting election period with Democrats and Republicans on opposite sides on many views today.
