I would have asked Hillary if she really thought that wearing the pumpkin-colored jacket in July showed fashion since…and then let her know that Rudy Giuliani wouldn’t be caught dead in it…at least not until October 31rst.

I would have asked Barack Obama why his campaign is running a banner advertisement on Political Derby.com after 3 “Obama Bashing” pieces appeared just the last week alone. Mr Obama, are you out of touch with your advertising people and their expenditures, and if so how will you balance the Federal budget?

I would have asked John Edwards when he and Elizabeth cooked up that scheme to have her say in San Francisco that she was all for Gay marriage while he makes it abundantly clear that he is against it but for civil unions. And then when asked about her position look more suprised than a deer in the headlights. Smells of triangulation. (Edwards made a sutle jab at Hillary by using the word triangulation and looking at her during the debate if you recall.)

I would have asked Joe Biden if he really wanted to be at that debate…period.

I would have asked Bill Richardson how many more times he is going to use that joke: “I think all of the candidates up here on stage with me would make a great addition to the white house…as my Vice President.” Bill has used that joke in all of the debates thus far. That it still gets laughs from the other candidates scares me a bit.

I would have asked Chris Dodd why his good friend Teddy Kennedy hasn’t said one word in favor of a Dodd Presidency since Teddy let slip, before Dodd announced, that if Dodd did run Teddy would support him with “figga.”

I would have asked Dennis Kucinich if he remembered where Cleveland, Ohio was, and does he recall that he is actually a Congressman from there, rather than a life-long presidential candidate.

I would have asked Mike Gravel how the food was on the train that he took to South Carolina. And if the bus he took from the train station to the Citadel (where the debate was held) had air conditioning. (If you watched the debate closely you will get this.)

I would have asked the liberal canidates “Why do you think raising taxes, whose cost would then be rolled over to the consumer, could possibly raise thier standard of living.”

My follow up question would be, “Who do you think is best qualified to decide what to do with your own money? The one who earns it, or Government?”

I would have asked them how they could in good conscience act like they supported the Citadel while all the while playing politics with their ex-students lives.

I would have asked Hillary if her jacket was made in a Chinese sweat shop staffed by blind kids.
