[Bluebear]

1. Dodd, Edwards, Kucinich stood out to me tonight

[Maven]

6. Disagree on Dodd. He continues to come across as stodgy and out of touch to me.

[Bluebear]

14. He's certainly not my candidate certainly

but did not have too bad a debate.

[JackBeck]

Agreed. And Kucinich and Edwards hit it out of the ballpark for me. n/t

[Catchawave]

9. Biden did well, Obama disappointing....he's struggling with

his message.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

12. I agree with you entirely on this.

Slick Hilly... still :rofl: It is just so Perfect!!!!

[Bluebear]

17. Trademark! LOL

[ncrainbowgrrl]

2. kick

:kick:

[soulcore]

3. wow, a simple one-word answer.

"Yes."

Hillary could take a cue there.

[aquart]

7. What was the question?

And who gave the answer?

[soulcore]

13. "Would you elimate no-bid contracts?"

And "yes." was the answer.

[SaveAmerica]

15. Would you get rid of no bid contracts?

[JTG of the PRB]

4. "Yes" was Biden's best response tonight.

I gave a solid laugh as soon as he said that.

[democrat2thecore]

5. I'm disappointed in some of Keith's questions. Surprising. -nt

[Connie_Corleone]

16. The Barry Bonds question was the only one I didn't like.

I could care less about Bonds.

[soulcore]

21. He never did give an answer.

I guess the ends justify the means?

[Catchawave]

22. The answer was more disappointing. A simple No

would have sufficed.

[karlrschneider]

18. Gee, I thought they were 1000 percent better than the ones from the earlier 'debates'...

:eyes:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

I wish he would have talked about the FISA Amendment. It is so freaking important

and these people in the stadium and listening probably a percent of them have a clue.

[AndreaCG]

78. That and impeachment

[superkia]

105. If they ever get asked, they will be dodged

like Clinton dodged that oh so important question about money from lobbyists, so thats probably why we will never see it.

[mucifer]

8. how about public finacing of elections?

[David Zephyr]

10. Surprise, surprise. Joe Biden stood out and did very well.

Who'd have thunk it? Joe Biden.

I think he stood out the most in this debate. I would have never seen that coming.

[Bluebear]

20. I think he was hooted by the crowd too much to be considered "did very well"

[superkia]

107. The media as of now still judges this like it is

an actors award? She was calm and cool or you hear that the others were stuttering or whatever? Do we want the best actor or the ones with the right answers that stutter? I will take the stuttering kid on my side because he IS on my side, I don't want someone acting well and only telling me what I want to hear.

[JANdad]

25. Only You!

[karlrschneider]

35. I like him a lot. He's probably not my top choice but I'd have no problem voting

for him.

[David Zephyr]

58. He can only go up at this point, but he did have a good night.

I'll support any of our candidates with enthusiasm.

[sandnsea]

51. As a blowhard, per usual

Kucinich stood out and did very well. Biden only stood out as an obnoxious blowhard, with Hillary running a close second.

[Dawgs]

11. Obama - "President Bush has been a disaster!!"

Truest comment spoken all night.

[texpatriot2004]

33. Amen nm

[redqueen]

70. Truest? How about most useless, most obvious, and most pandering.

Just MHO, of course.

[AlCzervik]

19. "Bring your brooms and vacuums cleaners"?

[Bluebear]

24. While you're baking cookies!

:)

[dweller]

more disinfectant and bleach needed imo nt

dp

[Colobo]

28. Soccer Moms for Hillary.

[Gregorian]

29. Start sweeping!

That was pretty good.

[travelingtypist]

43. I actually liked that line.

I flashed on the cookies disaster and thought good for you, Hillary.

[superkia]

108. To clean the lobbyists money out of her pockets!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

23. This was my last one... feel free to continue, y'all...

It's been great!

[Connie_Corleone]

27. Thank you!!

[Cameron27]

34. Good job, thank you!

[Bluebear]

37. THANK you so much!

[zabet]

39. Thanks for your posting these! n/t

[SaveAmerica]

40. Thank you!! You should take care of all the 'official threads'!

[RavensChick]

65. Hear Hear!

Thank you so much!

:hi:

[JANdad]

41. Thank You

[pinto]

42. Great job ncrainbowgrrl.

:kick:

[goodgd_yall]

64. Good job!

[dweller]

98. you represent!

:thumbsup:

dp

[Debi]

26. Dodd wishes America had a parlimentary system

:woohoo:

[mucifer]

30. oooo Edwards listened to me.

[Terri S]

31. Dodd agrees with Hillary and Biden?

[Maven]

32. Hillary's strategy has been to turn the debate into a personal rally

And play off of her image as the frontrunner.

She's gotten a few cheers tonight...didn't know if she would come back after getting booed

[JackBeck]

48. I'm looking forward the the Logo debate this Thursday.

I'm traveling for work so I hope I don't miss it.

[Maven]

54. Ooh, thanks for the reminder.

Have to remember to TiVo that.

Nice to see you here, too. :hug:

[JackBeck]

I'll be in Texas, so it's iffy that my hotel will carry Logo.

We've got DVR and I'm programming it as we speak.

Great to see you as well. :hug:

[Colobo]

36. Dodd and Biden are running for VP... sucking up for Hillary.

[JackBeck]

56. Totally felt that way with Dodd. Said just as muchto the hubby. n/t

[dweller]

38. he's going to give Kooch the last word !

sweet.

dp

[Subdivisions]

44. Easy Kooch! Almost had a Howard Dean moment there! Lol! n/t

[Gregorian]

53. Yeah, they can only run for two terms. Oops.

[democrat2thecore]

67. LOL...I was thinking the EXACT same thing!!! --nt

[Ikonoklast]

45. Good job, all around

Kudos to Keith. All the candidates made good points.

I like Obama and Edwards. What a ticket that would be.

Dennis for Health and Human Services. Dodd for Sec. of State.

[soulcore]

46. DK has my vote.

pure and simple.

[Individualist]

Mine too!

[Bluebear]

47. Here comes Tweety! "Hillary NAILED it! She CONNECTED!" Watch for it :)

[Terri S]

LOL! He just said she was 'majestic' !!!!

[rodeodance]

77. Love is a mnay spendered thing.

[mucifer]

55. lol

[Bluebear]

59. LMAO!!! "She was MAJESTIC" he opens with!

[sandnsea]

60. lol, She's "majestic" lol

:rofl:

Good fucking god, right out of the gate!

[Sonicmedusa]

61. First fucking thing out of his mouth.

[dweller]

71. god bless the Queen

:wtf:

dp

[RavensChick]

93. What a suck up!

Tweety grates me to the core! I changed channels real quick second they went to his ugly face. I feel real sorry for Keith 'cause he's gonna have hardly a say for the next 2 hours knowing this gas bag.

[ariesgem]

66. Oh I'm glad I didn't put money on that!

There he goes, "she was MAJESTIC!"

LOL!

[goodgd_yall]

73. So the spin begins!

[harun]

Got that right, Hillary reals are already revving up...

[Diane R]

81. You said it. He IMMEDIATELY said she had a great debate, and the camera focused on her.

I am SICK of the media cramming her down our throats.

[Colobo]

49. Kucinich sounds great... but too utopic.

[durrrty libby]

74. Well Chris Matthews said Hillary was majestic. He loves the queen theme

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

50. And to Keith

:applause: :yourock: :loveya:

[SaveAmerica]

57. I agree!! Time well spent.

[RavensChick]

103. Word Up!

You go boy! He did a great job in spite of the heat.

:loveya: :headbang: :woohoo:

[rosesaylavee]

52. "Seabiscuit of this campaign"

Best line of the night!

[Occulus]

62. Loud cheers from the crowd with his comments. n/t

[David Zephyr]

72. I liked that, too.

Dennis is doing better with every debate.

[Ikonoklast]

63. Tweety plants a wet one on Hillary

What a dope. 'Majestic'. Who paid him to say that?

[billyoc]

68. Here comes Tweety:

"Hillary did what she always does, she did well!" :eyes:

[durrrty libby]

83. Bet your ass she did.

[cui bono]

69. The question never asked that really needs to be...

When you are president will you restore the Constitution and balance of power voluntarily?

[harun]

Nice one, I would like to see something similar asking why

they feel it was necessary to circumvent the rules in the constitution and grant Bush the authority to go to war instead of declaring the war in congress like the constitution says to do.

Also would like to see them asked if as president they will have our National Guard running around fixing other countries or will they stay at home to help with natural disasters and infrastructure disasters.

[high density]

75. If this guy thinks Obama did well, he's an idiot

Yep, he's an idiot.

[JTG of the PRB]

76. GREAT debate tonight! There was some actual DEBATE!

Kucinich sounded great and definitely won over the crowd, and Edwards sounded very solid too. Obama and Clinton were both rocky and well-spoken. A very interesting debate with some great moments that could show us who the REAL leader sin this crowd are.

And Keith ended the debate with "Good night, and good luck." AWESOME!

[PearliePoo2]

110. great is right!

I usually don't watch these "debates". But this was a damn REAL one!
I'm a union member and come from 3 generations of union family members.
The people attending this debate are like me. We want answers, not carefully scripted sound bites.
I love the passion that was displayed tonight.
I laughed, I had tears and I felt pride.
This field of candidates is giving me hope.
I will proudly vote for ANY of these people when they get the nomination.
Contrast to the RePigs, that are a disgusting pack of soft greedy liars.
They would fold like a fucking house of cards in this format (but I'd take the day off just to watch it)

[JTG of the PRB]

111. To borrow a quote from some ancient television comedy...

... if the Repukes had to face a REAL debate like this one, with REAL questions from REAL people, "they would fold faster than Superman on laundry day."

[PearliePoo2]

112. !

:rofl:

:patriot:

[Individualist]

79. Now the talking heads will continue their adoration of Hillary

[Diane R]

86. Oh yeah. Hillary, the Washington insider, the corporate favorite.

[soulcore]

97. The Queen Mother of Big Business

And perpetual war.

[Terri S]

80. Willie Brown obviously didn't hear the boos at Hillary

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

82. And they are going to willfully ignore Kucinich. eom

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

92. I am so glad that I am wrong here! eom

[JTG of the PRB]

96. Except for At Uchanan... he said Kucinich did very well.

Surprising, seeing as I have almost NEVER agreed with At Uchanan.

[Bluebear]

84. WHICH debate were these gentlemen watching!?!?!?!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

89. Obviously not the same one we are. Here goes Tweety..Kucinich "lefty issues" .. eom

[soulcore]

102. Just turn it off.

It's all propaganda anyway.

He's "unelectable" anyway.

:sarcasm:

[goodgd_yall]

101. They weren't watching

They were too busy rehearsing what they were going to say about HRC.

[cui bono]

85. Buchanan: "Kucinich did extremely well" n/t

[Terri S]

87. Pat Buchanan gives kudos to Kucinich

but says Hillary won the debate.... dear lord.... do they think no one was watching?

[Terri S]

88. Pat Buchanan gives kudos to Kucinich

but says Hillary won the debate.... dear lord.... do they think no one was watching?

[Terri S]

91. oops... I'm stuttering.... sorry!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

95. lol!!!!!!

[Individualist]

94. and Tweety quickly diverts the conversation back to Hillary

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

100. lol! Did you notice that too? I think Tweety dreams about her. eom

[RavensChick]

106. Ewwwwwwww!!

Anybody got brain bleach?

:puke:

[cui bono]

90. Brown: "Kucinich scored like you wouldn't believe"

:applause:

[rodeodance]

104. umm.. they were listening!

[cui bono]

109. Imagine that!
