Super Tuesday, Super Bowl, anything for our great pleasure, is stated "Super." The final Democratic debate on Thursday night before Super Tuesday, had that kind of ambiance to it. I thought I might have the wrong channel; I expected Oprah to appear to host the show. It truly was a "Super" setting for the Democrats in their final debate before Tuesday, when many states will have their primaries including the state of California. So, since CNN was the sponsor and the Kodak Theater the place, why not have the best showing for the viewing audience. After all, this is for Hillary and Obama and this is Hollywood. CNN planned this to the "T". Wow, what a show! The rival candidates were so lovely-dovey I expected them to kiss. The audience almost looked like Oscar night was taking place and open applause was granted; something usually frowned upon during political debates. The questions? Well, we sure got the candidates' views on health care while other questions were debated quickly. By now, one knew which party CNN was promoting. I'll bet that the candidates had a review as to their past performances cutting each other to the bone to get votes. Hey, who am I to judge. We all have the right to change, except Romney. ...more
