***DEBATE THREAD. OBAMA FOLKS, COME ON IN!***

[george_maniakes]

There ya go.

[monmouth]

1. I'm here, gonna put something in the micro and then return. I'm fired up!

[GarbagemanLB]

2. I AM BITTER. Fuck having to wait to see it on the west coast. Debating whether I should listen to it

[Why Syzygy]

35. That's a stinker. soz

[DevonRex]

3. I hate watching debates. I get mad at Hillary first. Then I get

nervous for Barack, even though it does no good and he does just fine anyway. And I get mad at the anchors. Then I get a headache and go upstairs and bury my nose in a book. HELP ME.

[monmouth]

5. That's pretty much my reaction too and I'm worried about that idiot

Stephanupurass with his Hannity induced questions....

[DevonRex]

11. I couldn't even read that thread about Hannity. I swear I will move

to the Bahamas if this isn't over soon. Okay, not really, but it sounds good, huh?

[gateley]

28. He doesn't like Clinton -- I'd be more concerned for her, than for Barack. nt

[cui bono]

4. Will it be streaming anywhere?

[southern_belle]

6. Thanks, George

I'm here. :popcorn:

[Madam Mossfern]

7. Why not Hillary folks too?

I don't get it.

[SharonRB]

10. They'll have their own thread.

[george_maniakes]

12. someone asked for an obama folks only thread....

i guess in the hopes there'll be less crap flying about.

[crispini]

20. You are kidding me. We're doing different threads for supporters?

That's pretty sad IMO.

[K Gardner]

26. Have you looked at the board?? They need to be isolated and quarantined.

[crispini]

31. Well, actually, I have a healthy ignore list.

Mostly the asshats, though. I still "see" many HRC supporters, although there is one I've been hovering over the iggy button for awhile now.... :P

[papau]

56. lol :-)

[Evergreen Emerald]

84. Your post is disgusting. I cannot believe this is what the discourse

is reduced to.

[K Gardner]

29. Thanks for making this.. I can't bear them any longer.

[crispini]

41. "They" are Democrats.

Better remember that.

[goclark]

[shadowknows69]

17. Tonight could be a coup de grace though

Good television.

[goclark]

19. Thanks so much George

I'm on PST so I can't actively participate. :(

<http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/media?id=6080011>

[gateley]

30. I've got it up -- are you getting any feed yet? Thanks. nt

[bigwillq]

33. Are Democrats allowed in here

or just Obama supporters? :shrug:

[K Gardner]

34. Democrats yes.. HRC supporters, no.

[bigwillq]

54. I'm a democrat!

:)

[Evergreen Emerald]

88. I am both...

[Willo]

38. pull up a chair bigwill :)

[bigwillq]

55. I think I will.

AT work..not watching live..can't wait to read the comments. Should be interesting.

[Madam Mossfern]

40. What does that supposed to mean?

[bigwillq]

65. Well I am not

a 100 percent Obama fan nor a 100 percent Clinton fan...didn't know why this thread was being so divisive.

[crispini]

48. Yes. I don't know whose idea it was to have two threads,

but I think it's a TOTALLY FUCKING DUMBASS IDEA and ALL GOOD DEMOCRATS ARE MY FRIENDS.

[crispini]

36. My GAWD, that intro. I feel like I'm watching Friday Night Fights. nt

[Tatiana]

37. FIRED UP and ready to go!

Remember when we'd tune in to a debate with a slight hesistation, hoping Obama didn't stumble too badly?

Now when I watch Obama in a debate forum, I wonder how inferior he will make his opponent seem.

[oviedodem]

39. Gametime!

[oviedodem]

44. Louder cheer there for Barack.

[oviedodem]

66. It is stupid to not allow gallery reaction because you can't gauge what the reactions are.

[K Gardner]

42. First question.. prediction?? Mine is, of course, BITTER !! Gads, Hill looks bad.

[crispini]

43. Wow. Small room. nt

[southern_belle]

64. 90 minutes of debate after short

commercial break.

edit to change "of" to "after".

[Why Syzygy]

46. Here.

[SharonRB]

47. Oh, yeah

Louder applause for Obama.

[tishaLA]

50. damn it im not getting the stream to work

[goclark]

73. Me either

Anyone is welcome but let's keep it civil.

[tishaLA]

100. click on the lower left hand side

where it says "live" or something. that worked.

[Willo]

51. Guidelines: 90 secs to answer, 60 sec for rebuttals Opening statements beginning.

[babylonsister]

52. I'd hope you'd welcome Clinton fans, too. nt

[Madam Mossfern]

57. I welcome Clinton fans

but I'm not the boss.

BTW- their opening statements seem about the same.

[Why Syzygy]

53. HE OPEN'S WITH IT!!!

[shadowknows69]

62. I missed it what did he say?

And where is the stream?

[Why Syzygy]

76. ABC

He said the people are sincere (my word), but they are frustrated.

[Why Syzygy]

58. Recs

[cui bono]

59. AAAACK!!! STREAMS NOT WORKING!!! Anyone have a good link?

[chknltl]

81. Here

I had to wait through comercials but working now. Thanks to fellow DUer WIllo above.

http://obamav.com/debates/philadelphia/

[uponit7771]

60. Why didn't she just use the word "bitter"? :-)

[Yael]

61. Hillary's response, "what Barack said" and then plugged her website. LOL!

[Madam Mossfern]

68. Yeah

I guess I spoke too soon.
It's the vodka.

[Yael]

74. Dream ticket question. Crickets. LOL!

[Yael]

79. Dream ticket? Way to kick this off. Blah

[uponit7771]

69. lol...didn't want to use the word "bitter"

[GoesTo11]

63. Both look tired. Can't blame 'em.

[MadBadger]

70. Booo ABC...they are commercializing this too much.

[Willo]

71. STREAMING VIDEO ...TRIED AND TESTED

http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/livemedia?section=news/politics&id=6083174

[K Gardner]

72. OMG.. no Charlie. Nope.

[goclark]

82. Charlie is a dirt bag

[Kahuna]

75. Oh brother. First question. Gibson sucks. Trying to start crap already.

:puke:

[jazzjunkysue]

77. Shit. Stupid question. We don't learn anything from this question.

This doesn't help. Dumbass.

[jsmirman]

78. Missed the opening statements

can someone summarize?

[deminatl]

80. Damn

Why not in HD?

[goclark]

90. HC ~ She is willing to do anything

to make the Democratic party win and she knows that Barack will do the same.

Sounds like she is trying to make nice.

Differences pale in comparison to McCain.

Now Gipson is on bitter.

[Yael]

83. Charlie pressing the dream ticket again

[K Gardner]

Listen to her, trying to speak for "Barack". What a fake.

[Ichingcarpenter]

94. Once again Gibson not talking about the issues---bitter question now

He thought that $250,000 was middle class in the last debate.

[oviedodem]

85. What is the point of that question. These are going to be the two worst mediators of ALL time.

[oviedodem]

91. Start with the bitterness, nice policy that is important.

[ChicagoBurbsMale]

86. Clinton takin high ground

hmmm interesting

[DerekJ]

87. Why can't she speak like this all the time. (Dream Ticket Answer)

[DerekJ]

92. Here it comes ... (Bitter)

[Yael]

89. "San Francisco" Bittergate. Yawn.

[goclark]

95. Gipson is such a tool

Remember that he laughed at the dinner when Bush was looking for WMD under his office desk. :puke:

[RazBerryBeret]

93. crappy mediators.

stupid questions

[goclark]

99. She is the granddaughter of some worker from Scranton

Doesn't believe that her folks cling to religion.

Here we go again.

I thought she was going to take the high road but not this time again.

[K Gardner]

96. Lord.. she's morphed into John Edwards. Cripes.

[Yael]

101. She said "mill". DRINK!

:rofl:

[Yael]

97. Shit -- she's channeling JRE. "Granddaughter of a mill worker"

:rofl:

[K Gardner]

103. She can "See" why people were upset with his remarks. Catty. Sneaky. Divisive. BITTER.

[Ichingcarpenter]

98. Gibson don't forget thought $250,000 a year was middle class in the last debate

[Willo]

[goclark]

107. Thanks Willo Now she is trying to be nice to Obama

Then
Said he has the wrong ideas about America.

Said that Obama can win but she can win better ~ because she is better prepared.

[Yael]

104. "Can Obama beat McCain"? -- We have to. One of us must win. She is doing GREAT tonight.

[Labors of Hercules]

108. she's still a lying scuzzball.

[Yael]

111. This is one of her better performances though

[Ichingcarpenter]

109. I wonder when the moderators will start asking questions about

the problems with this fucking nation!!!!

[Why Syzygy]

105. Man, I don't trust her.

[Yael]

106. No kidding. It is like watching the 3 Faces of Eve

[goclark]

Face number 1 thousand

Obama is saying that she could win but he "believes he can win."

[Willo]

110. Wow, he is not letting up on her.

[goclark]

115. On her real good

Stands up for him with her "baking cookies" statement.

She learned the wrong lesson from it because she is now not being unfair.

[RazBerryBeret]

112. Great Comments!

from Obama!

[Ichingcarpenter]

113. Obama goes on the attack....with Clinton's attack on him

Wants to

[H2O Man]

114. The counter-punch

just landed.

[Yael]

116. She's hammering the 'elitist' meme in response

[goclark]

122. They are allowing her to speak about her passion for impowering

people.

She believes that she will get people to follow her.

Here we go with Rev. Wright.

[Hutzpa]

117. OMG! He just hit her

on the kitchen sink play...

[K Gardner]

118. God, she is pathetic.. not a sincere bone in her body. She talks RESPECT ?

[RazBerryBeret]

119. her eyes are weirding me out right now

they're all over the place.

[Yael]

123. SNAP!

[Yael]

120. Why does she keep looking up to the right. Looks like she is making shit up as she goes along

[Yael]

121. WrightGate. *sigh*

[goclark]

126. Each one of the questions is pointed at him not her

I tell you, Gipson is a slimeball.

[Citizen_Penn]

141. Stefanolous WORKED for her!!!!!

[goclark]

149. Probably still does ~ shameless

But that is fine.

Obama will rise above this ~

[RazBerryBeret]

when are we gonna talk bosna?

[Yael]

128. Don't count on that one.

[goclark]

132. They are too busy talking about a non candidate

Rev. Wright.

Won't bother to talk about a CANDIDATE - still on Rev. Wright.

[RazBerryBeret]

140. c'mon!!!

Sniper Gate!!!
c'mon!

[K Gardner]

130. I absolutely do NOT believe this. Wright?? Is this REPEATGATE DEBATE for Obama only?

[Ichingcarpenter]

124. These moderators are not talking about the fricking issues!!!!!

What a waste of time.

[ChicagoBurbsMale]

125. Are you people watching the right debate??

And whats with the vile hate?

[Willo]

127. Wright question to Obama

[CATagious]

129. Next up: Rezko.... nm

[trueblue2007]

142. He wasn't at church that day

and didnt hear about what Wright said "until much later"

that is utter hogwash and I just don't believe him.

[gal]

131. She said YES Obama can beat McCain

Finallyyyyyyyyyy, and she said it 3x so there goes the "he is not electable" theory.

[goclark]

139. Now she is back on Rev. Wright

She and Charlie are twins tonight.

Said she can't choose their family but can choose their church.

[jazzjunkysue]

133. So, that's it. Just more press thrashing. No policy, no future. Just more

press BS.

Can we get a real journalist in here?

[Citizen_Penn]

134. Careful Hills

What are you looking for at the right wing bible study group?

[Citizen_Penn]

138. right bible study group is vile - what does that mean to her? nt

[Willo]

135. Hillary questioned about not having Wright in her church

[Willo]

136. This is going to be an ugly debate

[Yael]

137. Thread 2 up

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5535232

[goclark]

143. Still on Rev. Wright

and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

HC is getting a real pass.

[RazBerryBeret]

144. yeah, you're getting unbalanced.

[tishaLA]

145. God. Damn. I want to throttle Charlie and George

[RazBerryBeret]

146. Damn,

she's especially shifty-eyed tonight

[RazBerryBeret]

147. YAY!!

FINALLY!!
sniper gate

[RazBerryBeret]

148. Hey, where did every body go?

I'm feeling lonely here...

[goclark]

150. I had to turn off the stream ~ it was the worse debate

ever.

Gipson is trash and George is not much better.

[RazBerryBeret]

151. agreed,

I think I'd prefer American Idol at this point.

[goclark]

153. We were watching American Idiot Gipson in the debate

For me, it was not the fault of the candidates, it was the stupid debate questions.

They did the kitchen sink trick and nothing was of value as a question or follow up.

[RazBerryBeret]

154. yeah, it pretty much sucked.

waiting for the final question. should be good.

[Hutzpa]

152. These two shills have got to asked

a better question than what I'm hearing, this is absolutely ridiculous, there
focus is on kitchen sink strategy by the Clinton's.

Imagine that fool playing a video about lapel pin while folks are dying with
high gas prices and home foreclosure.
