New Hampshire Democratic Debate

Today was a very big day for the Democratic race. A first major presidential debate took place New Hampshire where 8 Democratic candidates debated on the issues regarding Iraq, immigration and health care.

Why is New Hampshire so critical to any presidential campaign, because its the first state to host to begin the primaries. Many candidates believe that whomever wins New Hampshire sets the pace and usually ends up in the White House.

The debate played as most debates do, issues of Iraq and each candidates stance on the war and how it should be resolved. Topics regarding health care were big as well.

Reading and watching the clips on the debate, once again Hillary showed calm organized thought. Edwards seemed to played the emotion card, pointing fingers and giving blame to certain candidates. Lastly, Obama, as with the previous debate seemed to have trouble with words and how he relayed his messages.

I look foward to see future debates among the heavy hitters and well as the quiet candidates. The less publicized candidates say New Hampshire will act as a spring-board for them. We shall see.
