1. Uh, they all did,,, (n/t)

[MannyGoldstein]

6. Shhh...

Unspinning is no fair.

[SaveElmer]

9. I believe he meant during the course of the debate...

Didn't see any other candidate get that kind of reaction...

I know you desperately wish it wasn't true...but it was...

[papau]

20. Hillary made a very true statement that few admit - that funding for health is

biased - breast cancer if it killed at young ages like AIDS would be

funded very quickly.


While every group "dies in large numbers" - breast cancer is the only named problem that gets

attention re "female mortality problems" - and the vast majority of breast cancer deaths is at the

retirement ages and later.


And while that attention given breast cancer is minimal compared to "male problems", it was more than Aids got for many years.

2. You catch the people yelling out Obama! from the audience. early reports

say Hillary was so so and Obama had a very good night - to go along with that 250,000 donors mark hit tonight. record

[draft_mario_cuomo]

3. People also yelled for HRC and Edwards nt

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

4. Obama appeared to be the popular favorite

As best I could tell on TV.

[MalloyLiberal]

13. Oh I wonder why

[goodgd_yall]

15. He was at his entrance to the stage at least

but I don't think he sustained the enthusiasm throughout the forum.

[Ethelk2044]

21. Obama did well, He did not Pander like media thought he would do

[emilyg]

7. Go Hillary

[BeyondGeography]

5. Some will see that remark as grandstanding and divisive

The political equivalent of fast food. Tastes good, but was there any nourishment there? And did it leave a bad after-taste? It's not the home run it is being made out to be.

8. "If HIV/AIDS was the leading cause of death among WHITE women 25-34yo in this country,

there would be an outrage."

I think that deserves standing applause!

[Nedsdag]

10. Hillary's playing to the crowd.

You know darn well she wouldn't dare try that same answer in a Presidential debate. She knows her audience.

[beyurslf]

11. Sorry to burst your bubble about HRC. It came from tonight's debate.

"Hillary discusses the scourge of AIDS in the African American community during the All American Presidential Forum"

[MalloyLiberal]

12. He means general election

[goodgd_yall]

16. I actually thought that comment was off the mark

Since when do diseases that mainly strike women, of any race, get millions for research? It took decades for breast cancer to get the attention it deserves.

[JI7]

17. in some ways it's true, but look at the attention given to missing white females

and lack of to others.

the same with school shootings where gun control got more people involved when it was white kids who were being killed.

[goodgd_yall]

18. I agree with you there

But still, when it comes to what gets funded and what doesn't in medical research, I think men still have the advantage over women, be they white or black.

[Dawgs]

19. Why does pandering deserve an applause?

[goodgd_yall]

14. And the audience applauded wildly after Kucinich's remarks

It's interesting to see and hear the different reactions to the candidates during this forum---different from a predominantly white audience.

[JTFrog]

22. DK was the only one

getting the big applause during the debate. Maybe that's because he's the only one saying exactly what the majority of people want to hear. End the war, impeach the criminals and use the money for education and health care.

I can only imagine the control it must take for those who have sold their vote to the pro-corporate democrats to be able to consistently tune DK out.

Until Gore steps in, DK gets my vote. For my children and grandchildren's sake.
