[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

4. Uncooked Steak Umms?

:shrug:

[Botany]

6. sandpaper

:rofl:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. Oh

I like Hillary - I just didn't know what that was

[gateley]

5. I couldn't get the stream to work on msnbc.com - so I'm LISTENING on

C-Span.

Are you watching? How's it going? It sure sounds as though they've stepped it up.

I came in when Obama was citing his concerns about Hillary. Did the moderator ask the question directly - or did Obama just take an opportunity and jump in?

Thanks.

[demnan]

7. Kucinch stands up for Impeachment

and the Constitution! Kucinich is da man!

[Catherine Vincent]

9. Tim Russert sucks.

:puke:

[hatrack]

16. Yes, but we already KNEW that!

:toast:

[spooky3]

10. Richardson claimed he was the only one who negotiated

with other nations (? it was several minutes ago) and several others immediately said, "that's not true."

[minkyboodle]

11. Iran Iran Iran

Apparently Tehran has a strangle hold on our media talking heads
ideas of what is important to American citizens. Timmy is in typical
form, wonder if he and Tweety will share a high five over a brew
after the cameras are turned off...

[Ethelk2044]

12. Liked Edwards response about Clinton

[calteacherguy]

13. Clinton really refuted Edwards well. She comes across as the one not playing political games.

She's coming across as the real leader.

[Ethelk2044]

17. No she is not. Edwards just mopped the floor with her

[elizm]

19. And he CONTINUES to do it...

They are kicking her butt and it's about damn time.

[elizm]

23. Now Richardson's worrying about his VP spot. nt

[Ethelk2044]

22. Hillary is nervous and she repeating herself.

[BeyondGeography]

14. Edwards has been kicking Hillary's ass all over the stage on Kyl-Lieberman

[polichick]

15. They're all pretty feisty tonight...

But making clear distinctions is good, especially for people who don't follow every bit of news.

[calteacherguy]

18. Great question by Russert on National Archives, and great response by Obama to Clinton's BS. nt

[calteacherguy]

21. Clinton and Obama coming across strongest...clear why they are frontrunners. nt

[gorekerrydreamticket]

20. Dodd making some good points......for BIDEN!

Too much focus on HRC tonight. Biden, Kucinich, Dodd and Richardson getting hardly any time.

[elizm]

24. Dodd sounding VERY good. n/t

[BeyondGeography]

25. Richardson makes shameless appeal for Clinton VP nod

Criticizes "holier than thou" attitude toward Hillary...What a transparent suck-up maneuver that was.

[elizm]

30. Shameless is right. nt

[polichick]

26. Richardson trusts Senator Clinton but...

...disagrees with her on a majority of issues?? That was some kiss-up!

[Ethelk2044]

29. Richardson is running for Secretary Of State.

[polichick]

37. I think so too...

It would be more interesting than Veep and make use of his skills. although I think Biden would be in the running for Sec'y of State too.

[Joe the Revelator]

27. Richardson is a joke.

nt

[calteacherguy]

28. Richardson and Dodd doing a great job pointing out Edwards hypocrisy and cheap political attacks. nt

[polichick]

40. Dodd was really playing hardball on that. nt

[polichick]

31. Yay Kucinich!!!

You bet the American people are saying, "What about me?"

[calteacherguy]

32. HAHAHA...I love Biden on the Ghoul.

All his sentences consist of a noun, verb, and 9/11!

:rofl:

[ElizabethDC]

34. He cracks me up. I love it. n/t

[ElizabethDC]

33. Kudos to Biden for going after Giuliani!

This is what the Dems should be doing!

[antiimperialist]

35. Giuliani the most underqualified candidate since G.W. Bush

muahahahaha!

Go Biden.

[ronnykmarshall]

41. Biden kicked ass on that one!

[kad7777]

52. Indeed !!

[Catherine Vincent]

38. I agree.

We'll see what Rudy McTeeth say about that tomorrow. :)

[Catherine Vincent]

36. Geeze.

Edwards is not kicking Hillary's ass or kicking Hillary's butt. You Obama supporters are pathetic.

[calteacherguy]

39. Obama exhibiting great leadership on Social Security question. nt

[Ethelk2044]

42. Obama: great answer on rising oil prices.

[polichick]

43. I'm glad DK is on that stage...

The truth is so refreshing! "Everyone knows the war is about oil."

[kad7777]

44. BIDEN is on Fire!!!

Man...he's the best!!!

[Ethelk2044]

45. Hillary has that "thousand yard stare". She is totally befuddled.

[Joe the Revelator]

46. I thought Hillary was so ready to lead, why can't she answer a question fully?

This is absurd.

[Ethelk2044]

48. Truth be told, she is no leader

her only "experience" when she does answer a question is based on Bill Clinton's years as Prez. She pathetic.

[Adelante]

47. I think they're all doing very well

I'm enjoying this debate more than others.

[polichick]

49. They are very good tonight, I agree. nt

[Catherine Vincent]

50. I'm enjoying it also.

And the ones that are called on are doing well. But Tim Russert still sucks.

[calteacherguy]

53. I was just thinking that as well. They are all winners. nt

[MichDem10]

51. Richardson needs to run for NM Senate seat not POTUS

[Ethelk2044]

54. Obama: take care of life here on earth: Great answer!!!!!!

[Adelante]

55. Obama handed it to Russert

:rofl:

[polichick]

56. Best line of the night...

Obama, saying that he's going to take care of living people first. Lol

Or maybe a tie with Biden's line about a noun, a verb and 9-11.
