While watching the South Carolina debates on CNN last night, and watching Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama do the “Nuh-HUH! Nuh-UH!” version of political debating, I turned to my husband and said:
“It looks like John Edwards is the only grown-up on that stage.”
Looks like John Edwards felt the same way.
During the debate Edwards said:
“I was thinking I’m John Edwards and I represent the ‘grown-up wing’ in the Democratic Party. … [I]n times like this we need a grown-up.”
Indeed we do, John.

I spent the weekend interviewing people for an election-related piece. While some people were very optimistic about our country’s future and about the outcome of this election, it was little wonder after seeing last night’s debate why there are so many people who still feel so apathetic.

I love you, Pundit Mom. I saw your comment about this on twitter and quoted you to a ton of co-workers today. Heh.

Yeah – it sort of reminds me of “I know you are but what am I?” back and forth.
And along those lines… “My candidate’s better than your candidate! Nyah-nyah-nyah.”

Amen. I hate when they get nasty. It’s so unprofessional and it degrades them both.

yes. I agree and was telling my husband the same thing. I was disappointed that we didn’t here much talk of him after the debate, which I thought he won. I was proud of Edwards. Plus he is the only candidate that is REALLY pushing to go green.
I am 27, wife and mother to two young children.
