MSNBC, Chuck Todd: "it's hard not to declare Clinton the winner of this debate"
at almost every opportunity, the front-runners took pains to NOT engage, even when questions from the moderator tried to create spats. So in the absence of a "moment," it's hard not to declare Clinton the winner of this debate because, like boxing, if the champ doesn't get knocked out, then the champ is still the champ.

If she wins the Democratic nomination, she'll waste the repubs in the General.

14. if you say so
I try to like her, but she just grates on me. I try to put that aside and listen to the substance, and it seems so nuanced, so impassionate, that my trust meter just flatlines.

And yet I will KEEP trying to like her.

This is definitely the strangest primary race I ever remember. :hi:

19. I don't DISlike her
just don't LIKE her

she doesn't make me ASSUME everything she says is a lie, like most pugs. I just can't stir up any enthusiasm.

Edwards lights my fire; every one of the others comes across as speaking from the heart, although Richardson has stepped in it a few times when he tries to "campaign" vs just tell what he thinks. Hil - just seems a little like the animatrons at Disney World.

That's part of my problem.

There's a certain smug factor there.

36. maybe not so much smug
as haughty

like somehow she is a superior being, and her followers by association are too

you can just see her using the "royal wave" in a motorcade, and her supporters looking askance at anyone who is not showing proper respect

Maybe that's the problem. It is an aura that pugs exude

Perhaps its just an unfortunate personality trait unrelated to the "real her" - like Gore's supposed "woodenness"

Kerry had a bit of it too. Not as much though. But I preferred Edwards to Kerry in '04 largely on that factor.

I'm sorry, but her voice sounds nasally and flat to me.

I don't have a candidate, btw, so this isn't part of the Clinton/Obama wars. She really just sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Clinton fails to overcome question of her electability
Obama looks presidential; Richardson turns in his best debate

DAVID YEPSEN
REGISTER STAFF WRITER

August 20, 2007

One of the big questions going into Sunday's debate among the Democratic presidential candidates in Iowa was whether Hillary Clinton can win the November election.

That question still hangs over the race today. Clinton swatted at it with answers she's used before but she failed to conclusively knock it down.

After a string of strong debate performances so far in the campaign, Clinton seemed a little off her game at ABC's gathering Sunday morning.

- snip -

But the Sunday sunrise nature of the event didn't stop some of the others from having strong performances. Obama may be the biggest winner.

He was in the cross hairs for much of the early part of the session, and he stood up well to the scrutiny over his foreign policy positions and questions of whether he's qualified to be president.

Obama's campaign was quick to tout the results of a focus group held during the debate in which the participants tapped him as the best performer who eased concerns about his ability to do the job.

He came off as knowledgeable and temperate. He looked presidential and, unlike some of his earlier, halting debate performances, was much more polished and laid back in this one. At one point, he joked, "To prepare for this debate, I rode the bumper cars at the State Fair."

Bill Richardson also had a good morning, turning in his best debate of the campaign. So did Joe Biden.

-snip-

Richardson gets high marks for his performance because, for the first time in the campaign, he was able to press an essential point of his effort: He represents both change - because he'd be the first Latino president - and experience - because he's a governor and former congressman, diplomat and energy secretary. Richardson has been moving up in polls in Iowa, and Sunday's performance should help.

John Edwards held his own. While he trails in the race nationally, he's one of the front-runners in Iowa, and he was able to sound his populist themes without sounding angry or hot-headed like he sometimes does on the stump.

-snip-

The best line of the day came from Dennis Kucinich. When the candidates were asked about the role of prayer in their life, Kucinich said, "George, I've been standing here for the last 45 minutes praying to God you were going to call on me."

11. He must not have watched the debate....
Clinton couldn't hide her disgust at some of the questions and the answers. Her answers were not of the same caliber as those of Obama and frankly Biden.

If you take a look at the ABC after debate poll, a lot of viewers agreed.

Edited on Mon Aug-20-07 11:50 AM by Taverner
And right now, especially after a fairly tame campaign against her, they are tryhing to make nice to be a part of her administration.

And I hope every single contender for the Dem nom is up front and center as part of Clinton 2.0

Barack for Veep!
Kucinich for Health and Human Svcs!
Gravel for Homeland Security!
Edwards for Attorney General!
Dodd for Secretary of State!
Biden for Secretary of Defense!
Richardson for Secretary of Labor!

Kerry was setting this up to be in 2004 too...most of his choices were candidates who ran against him

24. Now if we could only put Edwards at the top
and HRC in another position, I'm a happy camper.

I like Edwards for Atty Gen if we can't get him as pres, but he'd be less in a position to advocate for people - just an enforcer, which would of course be good. Hil is a lawyer, and a good one - I'd go for just switching the spots.

30. Continued from post #121- could someone with a search function help us out?
Edited on Mon Aug-20-07 03:54 PM by Dr Fate
In post #99, someone is claiming I supported Nader.

This is 100% false.

I'm claiming that a poster supported Lieberman after he siad he bolt the party if Lamont won.

I thought this would be soemthing he could admit, but he needs the links showing him supporting Lamont after Joe threatened to bolt.

Little help???

Could someone, anyone pull up some of my past Nader posts and see if I ever advocated for him at DU?

Then YOU can show us how you opposed the formation of 3rd parties and opposed Lieberman once he threatened to split the vote...

It would also help your argument if you could dig up some pro-Lamont (D) quotes too. If they even exist.

Note to DUers-including Wyldwolf- you have my full permission to dig up my old Nader posts and post them here.

Then, after that, Wyld himself will show us his old posts where he opposed Lieberman's threat of a 3rd party and supported Lamont.

Here you are- supporting Lieberman AFTER he threatened to split and trashing Liberals, as usual.

Not exactly a post of you praising Lamont or opposing Joe,- but it's a start as to how you really feel.

Now- it's your turn to show me supporting Nader. LOL!!!!

17. I find little in that article to disagree with. The left would hate JFK..
...they despised him in 1960 and they'd despise him today (and the feeling was mutual)

Note the July 2nd date. Now, here is a link to Joes threat to go 3rd party- as early as mid June.

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8I84U105&show_article=1

Here is the text of the article that compels Wyldwolf to praise Lieberman(I), who had already threatened a 3rd party run:


The DLC has written a commentary calling Progressives a "motley" crew
and comparing Lieberman to John F Kennedy!!!

In the Hartford Courant

the DLC has said that supporters of Lamont are not the Democratic party but are "outsiders" and declares that the DLC are the Progressives and that Progressives are war hawks.


In addition to being a standard-bearer for the party's tradition of equal opportunity and upward mobility, Kennedy was a muscular internationalist who understood that force was sometimes necessary in order to protect the nation's freedom and security. As Lieberman notes: "I am a Democrat. I believe in the Democratic Party. I believe in the vision of JFK and, I must say, the vision of Bill Clinton."

That tradition is now being challenged by the left in the Democratic party. Driven by a motley coalition of left-wing bloggers and the MoveOn.org crowd, a serious primary challenge has been launched against Lieberman. However, if Lieberman is defeated, a disastrous message would be sent to the nation that centrist hawks are unwelcome in the Democratic Party.

The Connecticut Senate primary is nothing short of a battle for the soul of the Democratic Party. That is why outside left-wing groups have converged on this state.

By any standard, Joe Lieberman is a progressive.

This was AFTER he said he would start a 3rd party- one link is from AFTER the primary.

I think it is your responsibility to exaplain how that is NOT defending and supporting Joe Lieberman vs. Ned Lamont, not mine.

And if you look all my posts, my assertion is that you supported and defended a man who threatened to start a 3rd party- and you did so AFTER he made that threat.

Your posts prove my assertions.

Your only real defense against my charge of su

Besdies, the fact that you defend him AFTER he announces a 3rd party AT ALL says plenty about your credibility.

All anyone has to do is note the dates on the original posts of yours to see that this was AFTER he said he would bolt the DEMS- yet you still seemed quite fond of him, despite your claim to hate 3rd parties so much.

72. My assertion (proven with links) is that you defended/supported him AFTER he announced his3rd party.
These are your PRO-Liberman posts-from AFTER he announced his 3rd party, just in case you keep "forgetting"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3461941#3462955

And if you really did support Lamont (I honestly dont remember that-but I may be wrong)-then show us some of your posts. What are you afraid of?

80. So why would we find these Pro-Lieberman Posts if you really supported Lamont? Makes no sense.
If you supported Lamont, then you would have PRO LAMONT posts, not Pro Lieberman posts.

47. LOL!-Here you are yet again-defending Joe (I) quite passionately right here(AFTER LAMONT WON )
Edited on Mon Aug-20-07 05:51 PM by Dr Fate
Here you are-defeding Lieberman(I)/DLC attacks on Howard Dean (D)and defending Lieberman's (I) "free speech"- just like I remembered.

LOL-I love where you claim at the end that Lieberman never left the DEM party- but you seem so sure of it now. LOL!!!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3180384&mesg_id=3180384

Here ya go: Madfloridian from last month - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

Not that there is any rule violations in regards to milking the same articles over and over again for maximum faux outrage effect, but it does smack of desperation. Here are a few quotes from your current post that are questionable in their honesty:

Dan Gerstein was just plain ugly to anyone who opposed Joe Lieberman in CT.

And the netroots were just plain ugly to anyone who supported Lieberman and opposed Ned Lamont in CT.

He is still working for him.

So?

Yet The Politico has allowed him to write at least two columns which critique Howard Dean's role

So? Is that illegal? No. Unethical? Not if it is clear who he is. Your problem is you don't want anyone to criticize Dean.

(that's not his job as Lieberman's advisor...Lieberman's not a Democrat) and which bash anti-war and anti-Fox activists.

What difference does it make? Are you saying only advisors to Democrats can critique Dean? Do YOU decide who gets to critique Dean?

Tell Dan to shut up, that the guy he works for is an independent now...one who often threatens to leave the Democrats for the Republican Party.

Do you have a problem with free speech? Show some examples of Lieberman threatening to "leave the Democrats for the Republican Party."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3461941&mesg_id=3463030



Show me the links where you attack Joe or praise Lamont and you might have an argument-albiet still very weak.

Also- where are the links where I supposedly support Nader- having trouble finding those?

71. Really? Then why did you defend him w/ Pro-Joe posts after he annoucned his 3rd party?(links)
Edited on Mon Aug-20-07 07:05 PM by Dr Fate
You supported him after he announded his 3rd party- you did it right here on DU, and you know it.

If you didnt really mean it- if they were ironic posts, then by all means- show us the pro-Lamont anti-Lieberman posts that SURELY exist.

So far, all we have from you are PRO Lieberman posts from AFTER he said he would form a 3rd party.

Edited on Mon Aug-20-07 07:13 PM by Dr Fate
It's really all one needs to know to gauge your honesty/hypocrisy on 3rd parties, one way or the other.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3461941#3462955

What you did outside DU, we will ever know- all I know is these links show you supporting and defending a man of a 3rd party-AFTER he made the threat.

So you supported Lamont at some point, huh?

Well SURELY you have some pro-Lamont posts that defend him as much as you stood up for Joe- right?.

Where are they?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3461941&mesg_id=3463030

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3461941#3462955

So you are supporting Lamont and attacking Joe & his 3rd party in these links? That cant be right.

It's my original claim, and always has been. What you did outside of DU, no one knows- but here it was ALL PRO LIEBERMAN POSTS.

38. Kick! can someone help Wyldwolf & me with post #99- we need a posts search.
For some reason Wyld wont call my bluff- I would gladly see all my Nader posts linked for all to see.

There are a LOT of them, believe me.

I would be just as happy to see these post 3rd Party threat anti-Lieberman links of Wyld that supposedly exist. OR Pro Lamont Posts of any strip. But he will supply those. Right Wyld? ;)

1st -Little help??? Anyone care to do a search of my past posts on Nader? I cant do it b/c I have no search function right now.

37. silliness
I just watched the debate, which was excellent and filled with substance.

This account by Chuck Todd shows absolutely no interest in that substance. The very question of who "won," let alone the idea that Clinton did, is just silly for a journalist to concern himself with.

Edited on Mon Aug-20-07 04:59 PM by Dr Fate
Some will argue semantics or fib about why a post was edited. all day long before they can admit that DLC press releases and official media positions are often one in the same.

My advice to you is dont edit your posts in this thread, or a DLCer might try to get sneaky and and say you are lying about the content.

Feel free to note my subsequent edit times and responses- but also check post #28, #99, and others and make up your own mind as to who is not being upfront on this thread- LOL!!!!

NOTE: EDITED FOR GRAMMAR AGAIN LOL!!!

91. You are paying attention. Most people aren't
Most people get vague impressions from the MSM and vote based on those impressions. Bush is a regular guy, a straight talker, and he acts to protect us from our enemies. Kerry is a French flip-flopper who really didn't do anything dangerous in combat. Gore is a serial exaggerator who thinks he invented Love Canal and the Internets tubes. Hillary is the inevitable Dem nominee. Yaddayaddayadda.
