Wow, it seems like tonight will be quite an exciting night in the 2008 Presidential Election! First off, we’ll be getting results from the Michigan Republican Primary. MSNBC is now projecting Mitt Romney to win Michigan, so we’ll now see how much his margin of victory will be.
In the mean time, we’ll also see who does well at the Democratic Debate in Las Vegas tonight. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards are all now handling the first questions on race issues, and I must say they’re all handling it with real class tonight. Let’s hope this classy tone remains throughout the night.
So anyways, what are you thinking about the Michigan results? Is this exactly what Romney needs to stay in the race? And what are you thinking about the debate so far? Will our candidates be able to go beyond race and discuss issues that Democrats really care about, like the economy & Iraq?
This is your open forum tonight. Go ahead and discuss the Michigan results and/or the Nevada debate. Enjoy! 🙂

Dem Debate Over-
The MSNBC pundits look to be giving Hillary the jackpot tonight. She handled economic issues superbly tonight, and she took command in taking on Bush. They’re also saying Obama did nicely in the civil discussion, but he couldn’t take charge. Also, they said Edwards did a good job in making the case that he’s still relevant.
OK, so do you all agree with the MSNBC pundits? Who do YOU think won the debate tonight? Have your say here! 🙂
