Must See TV: Democratic Candidate Forum on C-Span tonite

[Armstead]

I realize the live broadcast was mentioned, but just noting that C-Span announcer said it will be rebroadcast again at 5:30 p.m. and again later in prime time (specific time not announced). I'm guess it may be available on the website at some point too.


This was a great forum. Instead of Big Media Presstitutes the candidates were drilled by average people. And each candidate was on stage alone, instead of the constricting "battle of the Dems" format of the otehr debates.

Definetly worthwhile, as it gave candidates the chance to actually answer questions. (And sometimes the audienmce members would not take a pat answer.)

Must see TV if you get a chance.

Please give this occasional kicks to keep it visible for a while.

2. Thanks! I missed this because I went to have my taxes done.

And the "debate" last night was hideously boring.

3. I saw it live.

It was really good. All the candidates were there, except for Joe Lieberman. That lady who had the question, the grandmother who lost her grandson, had me crying. She didn't lose her grandson in the war, she lost him because Medicaid funding was cut, and was worried that other kids would lose their lives because of this.
