1. Just tuned in, the webcast quality is pretty good

Here comes my congressman, Chet Edwards. FOR WAR.

Heh, he pointed out that he's the rep for.... CRAWFORD.. and he's a Democrat

2. Only one thing-you can really hear everyone talking in the background

I suppose that adds to the feeling that it's a town hall meeting but it's a little distracting.

Taking questions now, via, looks like email.

3. One more comment-very good webcast with a lot of Dems speaking

One of the ones I've enjoyed most so far is Bill Parcrell (?) of, I think, New Jersey, who talked about the perception that Dems aren't standing up enough against the Republicans.

4. GREAT QUESTION- Why don't Dems push for independent

commission on Bush's wiretapping? Why didn't Dems stop Alito?
