Republican Debate

I did not get to see the CNN/YouTube debate, but I did read the transcript and watched some of the question videos. If nothing else, you should check out the GOP Debate Song for a chuckle. All-in-all it was a pretty good debate. There was some avoidance of questions, but it was nice to hear some straightforward and direct answers as well. I'm not sure who I'll vote for, but it reaffirmed good feelings about Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson. The biggest surprise was that I found myself being OK with John McCain getting the nomination based on his responses tonight.

I have a lot of respect for McCain actually. He seems to be pretty on target with his message and ideas. I just think he is too old, his chance was in 2000 and, in some ways unfortunately, it wasn't his time.

At 71, (72 when he would take office) he is old, but if he served only one term, he'd be younger than Reagan when he left office. The bigger question is how healthy he is. I don't know the answer to that one.
