Besides Change, which no one supporting him can figure out what that means, aside from shouting about it. Isn't he supposed to have good judgement? Come clean. Obama's friends are not really something that can be brought out in public. Farrakhan, Wright, Rezko, Anuchi. Yes , I would think judgement is out the window. Now how about talking in your own words, gone too. Having you own political positions, well he's borrowed Hillary's. Give me some time, there must be something Obama's done. Oh yes, yes, he can raise money. Well, taking money from zealots wouldn't really be something to be proud of either.

In fairness, both candidates were sick. Hillary Clinton almost lost her voice in recent days. Barack Obama has taken to blowing his nose in the middle of his stump speech. That might explain why both candidates seemed medicated on stage at the University of Texas in Austin on Thursday evening.
According to the advance notices, the penultimate debate of the Democratic nomination contest was going to be a snarling, eye-gouging fight to the death. It turned out to be more like nap time—for the first hour, anyway.
CNN moderator Campbell Brown promised "a real conversation between these two candidates." And that's what we got: a pleasant chat that did little to illuminate differences between the two and certainly did little change the dynamics of the race.
"I'm happy to let her speak first and then can pick up on anything that's been left out," Obama said as he finished off an answer on the economy.
"Well, I would agree with a lot of what Senator Obama has said," said Hillary Clinton in response. It did not seem like the kind of strategy designed to help reverse a 0-10 losing streak in primary and caucus states.
Fortunately the medication wore off after the first commercial break. At that point, CNN's John King correctly noticed that the candidates weren't nearly so nice to one another at campaign rallies in front of their own supporters.
