I think Bill Richardson looked the most presidential in the Democratic debates tonight and I liked his brand of change - every one of the Dems seemed to have his or her own brand. Richardson looked like the man to encourage Americans toward a better future - including what he called an "energy revolution." He talked about 50 mpg cars, light rail and improvements in American science and math, "asking people to sacrifice to do something for the country." He specifically mentioned trading a year of service to the nation for college money. You have to like that. I liked what he said about Al Gore, too: "Al Gore has been right. He deserves the Nobel Prize. I'm glad he stayed out of the race." His message that he's the only Democratic candidate with executive experience, the only one who's negotiated directly with foreign leaders and balanced a real budget, resounded with me too/Brent Andrews More here.

Question: What was your impression of the D debate in New Hampshire Saturday night?
