[Hippo_Tron]

6. Does Barkley help one candidate or take votes equally away from both?

[myrna minx]

9. According to the recent Star Tribune poll, it looks like Barkley is taking votes away from McCain. n

[AlCzervik]

7. thanks and listening now, Coleman's voice, could be anymore snake oily?

[mzmolly]

Thanks!

It's not on locally for some reason?

[mucifer]

8. Franken's doing great!

[Ichingcarpenter]

10. Thanks.... I'll be glad to get rid of Cold..man.

[Ichingcarpenter]

11. Al is really winning so far and slamming Coldman at the same time

saying that Cold-man has done nothing about energy in 7 years.

Big issue in this debate.

[Ichingcarpenter]

12. Senator Coleman you made a trillion dollar mistake and a second trillion dollar mistake

the first was the vote and support for the war with Iraq
and the second was with your support of deregulation that
contributed to this financial disaster

Coleman is really losing this debate and still defending Bush

[Awsi Dooger]

13. Thanks for the link

Damn, I missed the beginning. I hope they replay it on CSPAN.

I hate seated debates, never as interesting or confrontational.

[mucifer]

21. That website is going to post the whole video tomorrow.

[Awsi Dooger]

14. Moderator makes wisecrack about Palin

"I don't want to trip you up, but I'm going to ask about the Bush Doctrine..."

That inspired plenty of laughter, including from Franken.

[sampsonblk]

15. Al is hammering them on the "war"

People are sick of the war - even more than I thought. Al Franken is doing the smart thing, and he's going to win this election!

[Ichingcarpenter]

16. Al was emotional about the troops and hospital visits

Norm is totally losing this debate big time. I hope someone local
can put up a poll afterwards.

[Awsi Dooger]

17. He's doing well but I'm surprised at how slowly he's speaking

Markedly different than his radio style.

[Fluffdaddy]

18. Now that's a moderator.

[Awsi Dooger]

19. Great line by Franken

Question about negative ads. His response:

"We're running commercials about Norm Coleman's record. So...they're negative."

:rofl:

[sampsonblk]

20. QUOTE of the DAY!!!

"Well... We've been running ads about Norm Coleman's record. So, naturally they're negative."

That's the shit! That's what its about. No apologies. Say it like it is!

Anytime we start talking about what these scumbags have done for 78 years it can't help but be negative!

Edit: corrected the quote

[Awsi Dooger]

24. LOL, I think we edited in opposite directions

You added the "naturally" after seeing my version, and I took it out after seeing yours.

I think you were right, that there was a pause but no "naturally." Regardless, it was a great segment.

[wellstone dem]

22. great closing

by Al, summed it all up perfectly.

[Awsi Dooger]

23. Very simple effective closing statement from Franken

Linking Coleman to Bush and the last 8 years, saying he's not your guy if you think the last 8 years have been great, but if you want the focus to be on the middle class, he asks for your vote.
