Anybody else missing Edwards or Kooch on stage tonite?

[Armstead]

[jackson_dem]

1. Yes

:(

[SeattleGirl]

2. Yep.

x(

[ursi]

3. yep. this campaign has been railroaded by the media ...

[Vadem]

4. Yep, I'm heartbroken....

On edit, why are the only two moderators from Politico.com, a Republican, right wing blog???


This is what is wrong with our political process! Why don't they Think Progress, for instance, up there with the Politico.com people???


I'm pissed!

[Yael]

5. Dear Lord, yes

This is painful to watch.

Obama has spoken for 5 minutes about immigration and he hasn't said anything.

Damnit John!

[AmBlue]

60. Edwards SO belongs on that stage.

And my heart is still hurting so bad I can't even cry.

Broken hearted for America.....
:cry:

[waiting for hope]

6. Yes - I'm not watching either -

Ok, I just peeked, and I swear, Obama was channeling Edwards in immigration. Yuck.

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. Good thing he had Edwards message to fall back on.

x(

[waiting for hope]

15. Ditto -

And Double x( Neither one would have a decent thing to talk about if it hadn't been for John setting the pace. Now they are going to channel him? For my vote? I'M NOT BUYING.

[Yael]

26. I ain't buyin it either

:hi:

[waiting for hope]

29. Hey Yael!

:hi:! Thought I take up jogging again, or perhaps do myself a big favor and store up on some decent sleep. I've been having this weird feeling all day like school's out and we are never going back. But, good news, my OneCorps chapter chair emailed me today, said that she was sure that John and Elizabeth (and she knows, not kidding knows them) would have a plan for OneCorps and that would include some activism. So I'm still in it, even though it may feel like summer school but proud to do it.

[Yael]

33. Good to hear!

I hope they come up with something (outside of politics) to pick up as their cause. Habitat for Humanity? A cause they start?

I am on board!

[waiting for hope]

40. I'll keep you posted -

Earlier on Kos, we were debating whether or not to put together a coalition of the poor and down trodden and hire John as our lobbyist - then it all just kinda got surreal. Whatever he does do, he will do with grace and compassion.

[SammyWinstonJack]

43. Yeah, me either. I could not be more depressed that John dropped out.

This sucks!

[rwheeler31]

7. yes

[calmblueocean]

8. Kooooooooooch! I miss ya.

It ain't the same without him.

[karlrschneider]

9. Greatly.

...

[Cleita]

11. I'm not watching because they aren't there.

I don't think Obama and Clinton have anything to offer me that is going to convince me to vote for one over the other. I don't care who wins super Tuesday because my choice is no longer there. As far as I'm concerned they are both two side of the same coin and one will be President, but not the President I wanted. I don't need anymore debates or ads to tell me how to vote in November. I know it will be for one of them.

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. Major nose holding time.

[Raine]

18. God this is as dull as dishwater.

I can see voters all over America tuning out.

[glowing]

12. Oh, my god yes... This is crazy.. Its hard.. they both have good points

and then something I think is really wrong.. John was just good.. and Kucinich was just right on.. Democrats or corporate puppets?

[bigwillq]

13. Yes!

:bounce:

But I think the two on stage are both doing a good job.

[bullwinkle428]

16. Yeah...there's absolutely a void up there.

[Raine]

17. Yes. This debate is really dry and boring

a real snoozefest. :boring: Edwards, Kucinich and Gravel are needed to liven it up.

[Armstead]

I wanna see some populist passion

[Zorra]

19. Totally. I'm listening to it on XM. n/t

[asdjrocky]

20. Kind of funny to see-

The way Edwards can make their lips move from all the way in North Carolina.

[SammyWinstonJack]

48. ...

:spray: Oh man that was funny rocky! :rofl:

[TreasonousBastard]

21. Not in the least. n/t

[spooky3]

22. That's why I could not watch it. Watched Keith O. instead.

I really hope all is well with JRE and EE.

[Cleita]

25. I watched Keith too. Didn't he have a great rant again?

He's on again later after the debate. This is not to be missed. He really put the screws to Bush over his SOTUS.

[spooky3]

31. yes, he did. He's amazing.

I like Dan Abrams more and more as well.

[Yael]

34. I have grown really fond of Abrams too

[BlackVelvet04]

23. Not really.....

I want to hear what the two on stage have to say. They are now the Democratic candidates no matter how we feel about the others.

[Yael]

24. This debate needs Biden or coffee or something

:boring:

[Cleita]

27. They can't debate because they are too much alike $$$.

That's why they had to descend to personal attacks in previous debates. Now that they have decided to be nicey poo, makes the debate boring. It really needs Kooch and Edwards there to make it interesting.

[sniffa]

28. Very much so

:(

Not just him, but more so when I thought we'd at least have him.

[MissDeeds]

30. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes

Missing the left leaning Democrats in the debate. :(

[madrchsod]

32. can`t miss --did`t watch

[bigbrother05]

35. yes

[Yael]

36. I want the progressives back, and my ignore list

and while I am at it, a pony.

*pout*

[knight_of_the_star]

37. Yes

I'm watching and seeing the differences and I wish he was there to bring everything back into reality.

[jgraz]

38. You mean besides Obama?

:P

[Yael]

49. !!!

:rofl:

Well played.

Much ado about nothing tonight. Not his best showing by a long shot.

[Mark Twain Girl]

39. God yes. I miss the fire.

Actually, I'm not watching but this is just from reading the posts.

Sigh. I feel very disenfranchised right now.

[OzarkDem]

41. Didn't watch, no point without them there n/t

[Triana]

42. Edwards especially...

...he was an exceptionally smart and saavy debater. He always knocked 'em dead!

[Prefer]

44. No

[Hepburn]

45. Yes, very much!

I am sooooooooooo sick of listening to Hillary Clinton, I could SCREAM!!

[burythehatchet]

46. hand

[mnhtnbb]

47. Not watching debate; Edwards attended UNC Chapel Hill/Boston College bball game.

Announcer did an interview with him--and he said if he wasn't at the game he'd be onstage at a debate right then.

[truebrit71]

50. Yup. I'm missing John Edwards tonight...why did he quit YESTERDAY for crying out loud...

...Dammit...

[Politicub]

51. Kooch - lol n/t

Honestly, I love Edwards, but I'm enjoying seeing these two on stage together.

[eridani]

52. Ya sure, youbetcha! Also Gravel n/t

[cboy4]

53. Of course.

Sigh

[MadBadger]

54. Honestly? No, I dont.

[More Than A Feeling]

55. I may be a heretic, but the answer is no.

I wish it had been John Edwards and one of the others in the one-on-one, but watching them both have enough time to really get into it made up for his absence.

[mitchum]

56. Yes and yes

[judaspriestess]

57. I didn't even watch

have no interest right now

[unapatriciated]

58. yes and yes

like I have said before....I don't see a difference in their policies.

[bvar22]

59. Nobody fighting for me tonight.

I'm just an American who Works for a Living.






"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans.

61. I yearn for them!
