The top 3 got the most time & questions last night, is there any way to flip that for next time?
I know the MSM was hyping the prize fight between Obama and Clinton, which turned out to be more of a pillow fight. That is how they attract viewers and sponsor, it is sensationalism at best. I find it very disingenuous to the Democratic process that we have to pick from three preordained choices in these debates and that if they don't eviscerate each other than the debate sucked. How about actual talk about issues and how the candidates differ from the GOP ones. Second tier candidates get asked BS questions as well, like Dennis and the UFO one. You'd never see Hillary asked about a Vince Foster CT. Why not ask Kucinich what reasons he has for impeachment, since he was saying it all night. Hillary got the most time and looked shocked and appalled when called on anything the rest of the time she was tap dancing. Edwards and Obama fought to a stalemate, I thought. I thought that Biden and Dodd really shined last night. Richardson was auditioning for VP and Dennis spoke his mind and conscience as always. I am just wondering if Biden, Dodd, Kucinich and Richardson got the equal amount of attention would the polls be different. Frankly, Biden impressed me last night and while he got the least amount of time I would love to hear more from him in the next debate.

6. i want democracy to win..
and that won't happen with Clinton in the WH. Sorry, but the threats and spectre of another republican presidency no longer have the desired effect on voters like myself who are sickened by the status quo.
