Democrats Debate

The candidates for the right to represent the Democrats got into full swing last night at the University of South Carolina. All together 8 hopefuls mostly talked about the war in Iraq with very little confrontation. It was a safe topic for all the candidates as they all oppose the war. Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards took a shot when he said "Sen. Clinton and anyone else who voted for this war has to search themselves and decide whether they believe they voted the right way." Sen. Hillary Clinton's response: "I've said many times, if I knew then what I know now, I would not have voted that way" Fresh off a vote to authorize more spending in Iraq but with a deadline to bring troops home, nearly all agreed the president should sign the bill, except for the most anti-war lawmaker in the group. "Every time you vote to fund the war, you're reauthorizing the war all over again," argued Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio. He is not considered a legitmate contender in the race however.
