    I am a 60 year old white Democrat who watched the debate but would not ever be interested in any of those candidates. Most spoke well but really had no answers. Remember "the people" voted the republicans in the house to create jobs well why blame others when it was their specific job. Regardless of opinion and policy I was totally amazed to see the all white non diverse audience. Surely not a good representation of the diverse nation I live in – no melting pot in New Hampshire!! I know it's customary to bash the present administration in these debates but Im tired of the constant Obama and Obamacare slurs. Let's not forget who we are and have some respect – Mr President Barack Obama you have my vote hands down.

    Ms. Bachmann stated she wants to get rid of the EPA. So how does she explain in this economic time why she would want to fire people? How would that idea help the economy? And who is "contributing" to her run for President? A company that can't work in a way that is safe? And how can she look in our eyes knowing that our water will be polluted by drilling & tell us she cares for Americans?
