MSNBC is hosting a Democratic debate in about an hour. If you watch it, tell us what happened. Maybe we'll learn about life an an invertebrate.

Re: Debate Thread (4.00 / 3)

There's a thread at dKos that has a couple of clips of Edwards at the debate. He says that he and Hillary Clinton learned very different lessons from the aftermath of the resolution authorizing war against Iraq. He learned that Bush "cannot be trusted", which is why it was a mistake to vote for the resolution claiming that the Iranian Revolution Guard is a terrorist group.

Edwards is the only one who comes across as presidential to me. I have a feeling he won the debate, but you are not going to hear that from the corporate media.

Actually the debate was pretty good. I only expected to watch a few minutes of it, but I thought that the questions were pretty good and most of the answers were as well.

I think that almost every candidate got in at least one good line, but it seems to me that the candidates willingness to be radical or liberal is inversely related to their standings in the polls.

Re: Debate Thread (none / 0)

I'm watching some post-debate wrap-up on MSNBC. I didn't see the debate.

Most people think Edwards helped himself. But I am so bored by this campaign that I just don't care.

I'm much more interested in figuring out how to win Alabama's open second district seat.

You have to move there first of you want to win in Alabama. Maybe you could run against Gerlach instead? :P

BTW my GOTV plans are moving forward.

speaking of invertebrates... (none / 0)

Murphy got endorsed by MoveOn, then voted to condemn their ad. Is that what he was sent to DC to do?

And does that mean he'll be returning the money we raised for him? Will he mind especially when he doesn't get that kind of support when he runs for re-election?
