Decision 2008: Democrats meet in NH. Edwards attacks Hillary and Obama while Biden shines.

Well last nights debate between the 8 Democratic Presidential Candidates showed how a campaign can turn violent. Edwards attacked Hillary and Obama for their late votes against the Iraq War Funding Bill saying they were followers not leaders. Obama responded by saying your vote was 4 1/2 years late to the mistake of the war. Obama showed he was against the war from the start and really didn't impress us much. He sang the same tune. Edwards was the same way, but he was very aggressive and showed that he could be a leader. Hillary had a positive performance but sang a familiar tune. Biden the most aggresive of the candidates really impressed us. He showed his plans and said what was right and was was wrong. he really looked like the leader while Hillary, Obama and Edwards bickered. Could this be the neccessary code to break to get into the 1st tier of candidates? Richardson the apparent leader of the 2nd tier in recent polls showed another poor performance. Gravel and Kucinich were rather tame and Chirs Dodd, was he even there? I dont recall one rememberable moment from him. I have to say that we have to give the win last night to Joe Biden for an excellent performance.
