Last Thoughts...

Last night's debate was nothing less than what I expected it to be... a big talk about abortion, gay marriage, family values, and that little thing we call the War on Terror.

Not to my surprise, the republican candidates didn't talk about some of the topics on my mind, such as Darfur, global warming, and education systems such as "No Child Left Behind"

Since they didn't touch on Darfur, my question obviously wasn't answered. It seemed that they left out more topics than they did include them. In addition, it was also a little embarrassing to see the debate end with a question to Rudy Guiliani about the Yankees.

I was sceptical about whether or not the Republican candidates would present strong, thoughtful, and direct answers to the questions asked. However, I do give Gov. Mike Huckabee some credit on how he answered the question about his tuition policies to children of illegal immigrants in Arkansas. But, that still doesn't really give the other candidates an excuse for their own question dodging and view pressing.

I know that Ron Paul won't get the nomination, but I really do hope he takes the advice of his last question and runs for office as an independant..

After watching this debate and seeing how all the candidates reacted to the questions, and what their policies would be, I believe that what this country needs is somebody like Ron Paul. If not, my vote is officially going to the democratic party (as long as Hilary isn't nominated).
