Dems Debate in South Carolina tonight

If you haven’t heard, the Dems are getting together tonight for a little debate. Obama, Hillary, and John Edwards will be among the 8 candidates espousing on the issues tonight at 7PM on MSNBC.

I’ll be watching to see how far left John Edwards can swing trying to woo liberal voters in the South. His populist message should have businesses concerned if he does begin to make a dent in the lead held by Hillary and a fast approaching Obama.

Hillary will no doubt try to come off as a more personable candidate and look to regain some of the southern appeal that won her husband two terms in office. However, I am truly intrigued by Senator Barack Obama. While his voting record seems to indicate alignment with traditional democratic views, his speeches and demeanor have people on Wall Street thinking he might be a very favorable candidate.

It’s still very early, but with the nation concerned about current events, this debate should set the tone for hot-button issues for both parties.
