Democratic Debate

The Democratic debate, presided over by ABC's Charles Gibson last night in New Hampshire, was in many ways much too cushy and comfortable an affair for my taste. Still, there were some meaty enough things being said.

And in the waining moments, both Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama sent out the same message - no matter our disagreements, we are arguing about real issues - health care, schools, immigration, work, jobs, taxes, real estate.

They didn't spell out the chimeras and irrelevancies that seem to be occupying the Republicans. But here's a list of what I keep hearing at republican debates - God, religion, Jesus Christ, gays, abortion and more God.

May their own voices be loud enough to save us from their governance.
