1. I give credit where credit is due,

Edwards was an ass, and Obama smacked him down for it.

[venable]

3. excuse me, how is he an ass

when he makes the difference between them clear.

what the hell is he supposed to do.

How about the classiness of saying "you were right and I was wrong"? any comment on that?


and this language: Smackdown? Is this the WWF?



How old are we supposed to be in this conversation?

8. The reason Obama did not vote for IWR...

...is because he was a state senator at the time.

This crap about how the war can only end if a D wins the presidency is an abdication of Constitutional authority. Congress needs to remember that it is the policy making body. The Const. places limits on how long an army can be funded for that very purpose. It is not Geo. Bush's war. The responsibility falls on everyone who was stupid enough to trust him or too spineless to oppose him too.

2. dems using right wing frames language - it is NOT A WAR, it is an occupation nt

[whistle]

5. Who siad that? I was not able to see the debate, is it available on video

...in full?

[whistle]

4. Did Wolfie ever ask the other candidates in the debate any questions

...or has CNN already decided that the race is between Clinton, Edwards and Obama?

6. I agree with John

on this one. They should have been clear and pointed about ending this war as leaders, like Kucinich, instead of being some of the last to vote and not saying much at all.

[ooglymoogly]

7. Of course they should have been clear; They should have stomped in and been the first to vote

proudly and loudly.
They waited until the bill was safely passed and then, when their vote was meaningless except for bragging rights, they quietly sauntered in and voted at the end...Edwards is the clear winner here and thats a fact.

9. Dang Hillary did a great job.

She was really powerful in this debate. I did not agree with Edwards about this issue. He was nit-picking. They (hillary and Obama) have been consistent in wanting to end the war, including their most recent votes. That they did not stand on a soap box and shout from on-high: "see everybody?" "I am voting against the budget," does not bother me. Edwards had so much more to work with and he ended up looking as if her were desperately attempting to find differences.

10. wow hillary was pissed

edwards made her angry at the end there. hillary wins the primary if there are no important differences. She knows that. Why? Because then it would be only name recognition. Clinton is obviously the biggest name. Good for Edwards for sticking to his guns.
