1. This debate is for New Hampshire, and we are watching. So it is a benefit.

4. I agree - only Biden hit it out of the park with his Rudy comment.
Other than that- zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Same old stuff.

5. The last debate in Iowa was much, much better.
I actually learned a lot - not about the candidates but about tax codes, health insurance and health care policies and the inter-relationships of same. Also, Judy Woodruff (unlike Tim) didn't have her ego in the debate.

6. I disagree
Russert is asking tough questions and earlier was allowing some exchange between the candidates.

BORING is allowing the candidates to deliver a load of rhetoric, while avoiding tough questions.

7. Actually this is the first one I've really watched

I'm not sure why, but even as a political junkie I
haven't had a candidate I've totally supported or
a debate I've watched the whole way through.

I'm tired of Edwards posturing himself as an outsider.
I'm don't think Bill Richardson has a chance as well
as DK who I really agree with on most issues. I like
Gravel's opinions but he doesn't have a chance in hell
either. I think Dodd is posturing himself to be the
netroots answer to Iraq although there's no way that
the U.S. is leaving Iraq anytime soon and probably
will be there for generations. I think Dodd is smart
and experienced. Biden's off the cuff opinions are
great for cable news shows but not for a president.
And that brings me to Hillary who I think is running
a great campaign and is the captain of her ship. I
worry that she is aligned too closely with Jewish
voters and an Israel that can't do wrong in U.S eyes.
I worry that she will overcompensate on military issues
and force.

Gads, I forgot Obama...what's with his missing some of
the most important votes in the Senate...it's a political
decision and I don't like it. He had better step up to
the plate because he just doesn't look like he has the
stuff right now, as nice as he is.

I still don't know who I would vote for in February,
(CA voter) but I don't have the passion I
did when Dean ran, so don't know who I'd actively
work for at this point. Any of them are heads up over
the Republicans running.

Sometimes it looks like the next President just won't
be enough to clean up the mess left by the current
administration.
