Dem Debate in Myrtle Beach S.C. Tonight.... Are You Watching?
The Obama Campaign and the Clinton Campaign seem to be pulling out the long knives in recent days.

Will this provide an opening for John Edwards?

This could get interesting in a hurry -- and passion in politics usually leads to someone making an exploitable error.

5. I'm looking for Howard Dean to make another announcement.
I hope Clinton and Obama keep it civil.

6. Definitely - I'll be looking for comments from Obama about Reagan...
...watching to see which side of herself Hillary emphasizes, and whether or not Edwards has broadened his message.

8. Nope
Not if some candidates are excluded, and the network actually picks their candidates.
I don't even know if Mike Gravel is still in the race, his name is mentioned even less than Dennis'.
However, if someone makes the commitment to run for President, they should be allowed to participate in the debate, if only as a challenge to the so called "major" candidates.
But who makes the major candidates? The media.
And whatever the media says, unfortunately, goes...

These debates, full of empty rhetoric, not only bore me to tears, but make me angry and worried that nothing much is going to change after Jan 20th 2009...
Voices like Kucinich (and Gravel, even though I don't know too much about him except that he kind of flipped out on Mike Malloy's show) at least redirect the debates to real issues.

Maybe this is why they are excluded...

11. Absolutely! I haven't missed watching any of the debates.
I make my final decision on who to vote for based upon each candidate's reaction to situations they're presented with. Especially things they don't expect. I don't care about the scripted stuff, and most of the questions in the debates are bs. Facial expressions, the occasional screenshot of the candidate who's NOT speaking, & body language tell me a lot more about a candidate than their words do.
