A few thoughts from the Democratic debate last night:

• Bill Richardson summed it up for the Democrats when he said that we shouldn't worry about how to pay for all the programs they propose. Really? This was the party promoting fiscal discipline this last election, right? That kind of fiscal irresponsibility is dangerous on the personal level and even more so on the national level.
  

• John Edwards is the most dangerous top tier candidate for America. With all due respect to Clinton and Obama, Edwards would pit America against itself in a class and racial warfare. He is the antithesis of the successful welfare reform passed in the 1990's.
  

• Denis Kucinich has lost his turf to Mike Gravel, who when he ends his run for the presidency will return to the asylum he was let out of.
  

• I'm not sure if Hillary realizes that she has a microphone in front of her. Apparently she's trying to return to the old days where your message only carried as far as the sound of your voice. I feel like I just got out of a rock concert after listening to her.
