Thursday evening was an important evening for any Presidential candidate, whether Republican or Democrat. President Bush laid out his benchmark plans for the Iraqi people and its government for all the nation to watch.
And the race began...
Which Democratic Presidential hopeful would be the first to be on the air, making sure that America understood how much they disagreeed?
Well -- I'm sure it comes as no surprise that toprunner Hillary Clinton was the first to make an appearance, only moments after the President's address.
But the big pull of the night came from the lagging candidate John Edwards who bravely -- and not cheaply I might add -- followed 30 minutes after the speech with his own 2 minute commercial.
"Our troops are stuck between a president without a plan to succeed and a Congress without the courage to bring them home," Edwards said according to the New York Times. With only 339 words total, Edwards did his best to sum up his campaign's stance on the war in Iraq.
But will it prove to be a profitable gamble...only time and votes will tell...
