rocks for a sec... I tell ya

Why couldn't you have just posted this in the debate thread?

very entertaining...

who needs kucinich or shaprton

Holy Shit! Validates his inclusion. Amazing. It's so great to hear this in this arena. If his numbers go way up, maybe that will send a message.

This is a man who will speak his mind with passion, no focus groups, no polls.  Elect him.

If there's any justice that will be one of the takeaways from the debate.

-C.

I like how he was insulting everyone on stage and they were just laughing at him, which pissed him off even more.

He is officially my favorite crazy old man, now.

his plan?

waiting....

Gravel rocks.  (Why isn't that his campaign slogan?)

In a field that's light on experience, he brings plenty.

In a field that's mostly too moderate on the war, he speaks what should be the Democratic position.

On the downside, he bought the FairTax BS, and is older than McCain (although he comes as across as younger and more energetic.)

she would pay for her healthcare plan.

Finally, people are comming around to Gravel! you should read up on some of his positions. He's like a pissed-off FDR.

I am glad Dodd's campaign has video since that it is the only video image I can get.

Richardson keeps criticizing Democrats.

Did Richardson just chide Democrats for always wanting to raise taxes for new programs?

3 most important allies? That was a horrific question

Wow, I hated the enemies question more, but Gravel is nailing it...

MSNBC should give Gravel Imus's time slot...

Gravel mentioned the MIC.  Surely he won't be invited to any more debates.

I like Gravel. Sure, he comes across as a moderately crazy and very curmudgeonly old man, but he's showing his passion. And he's attacking.

Everybody else is playing it safe, reciting their lines whilst they're bombared with Republican talking points. I want an answer that begins "That's an appallingly stupid question, Brian. Here's why..." The '3 biggest allies/enemies' one was crying out for that, as were the hands-up questions.

1. Clinton isn't completely unlikable
   
2. Obama is solid...good responses.
   
3. Edwards took a jab at Obama; is as likable a candidate as Dems have ever had.
   
4. Dodd's experience shows
   
5. Gravel is a crazy old man; not terrible
   
6. Shouldn't Kucinich's district demand a better rep?
   
7. Richardson is a foreign policy genius. I don't like his centrist rhetoric so much.
   
8. Biden should play a foreign policy tolr in the next administration. SecState?

How sad, not one besides Kucinich would impeach Cheney for starting a war based on lies

No one is blowing me away, but no one is really sucking either.  There are just too many people in these debates.  

the first minifirework

If it's suicidal to call for at the very least an impeachment for lying our nation into a war, then we're a lot further gone than I thought.

Edwards mimics Bush's response to favorite philosopher.

Took Edwards a bit to answer the role model question.  That one seems to have taken him by surprise....

Great Debate Questions.  

is that red-headed woman Kucinich's wife?

I try to get out and listen to folks who are non-political. They hate the war, hate Cheney and Bush, hate the price of gas and oh yeah, affordable healthcare would be nice.

Few will see that debate, which is too bad.

Gravel & Kucinich talked their talk. Though most others weren't bad, I'm sure they'd raise the poll numbers of Mike & Dennis after that.

Impeach Cheney? Of course! That's a no-brainer for many.  I'm done with voting for 'the electable.' I'm gonna go with guys who skimp on the BS and canned answers. EVEN if they don't win the primary.
