About time we talk about NEW ISSUES in the PBS Debate *Format BEST by far*

[Bullet1987]

Every single issue discussed, except for Darfur at the end...were domestic issues that have been ignored in the previous debates. I'm glad we didn't talk about global warming again, and the war in iraq, and overtalk about universal healthcare, etc. They talked about OUTSOURCING, poverty, HIV, Katrina, EDUCATION. How can we have like 5 debates in the bag and not a damn question about education?!?!?

Much better debate, I just wish it were longer. People are going to complain about the format, but it was by far the best format we've seen thus far. I bet when the numbers come back, you'll see that everyone talked about the same time. The questions weren't framed for the Top 3...

1. I thought it was well done, good questions, focused.

2. I agree it was a great format, but how can you dismiss Iraq, global warming, and health care?

If you say there has been "overtalk" about universal health care then you must not be living in the same country I have been living in because until Michael Moore came forward in recent weeks there has been virtually no talk about universal health care on the corporate media, and few candidates were willing to even touch it. And global warming and Iraq are only two of the most crucial issues facing our planet right now. I loved the debate format and thought the questions were great, but to suggest we shouldn't talk about those other issues so much seems ridiculous to me.

3. Be sure to write to PBS and tell them so. They need the positive feedback.

I thought Tavis did well, and I like our Dems!

4. good format, but I would like to see more intensive interview type shows

Where two or three candidates asked questions and allowed more time to answer(only if they stuck to the subject) and several night running so all candidates get equal time. Isn't that what PBS should be about?
good, but left me wanting more. Loved the audience reaction. More, more.

5. I loved it! It was nice to hear what the candidates had to say. They were actually given time to

TALK....equally. John Edwards did a good job tonight. I thought Hillary's little joke about hurrying up before "she was compared to Paris Hilton" was funny. All in all, the format was GREAT and the questions were very interesting. I enjoyed the whole thing.

6. And no "clever" questions or silliness from the moderator. nt
