6:04 PM
true... little kid is funny
6:04 PM
true... little kid is funny
6:04 PM
And it begins! I am running back and forth between the tv room and the computer room tho so my comments may be a tad off. sorry in advance!
6:04 PM
haha I saw that Viking Video
6:06 PM
o that guy is right...obama is way to fresh
6:06 PM
like omg. she really stands out in the bright pink shirt. can u say embracing the sterotype?
6:07 PM
in other words... obama just said "I'm better than you"... basically.
and talkin about lobbyists reminds me of that riskay movie today... yikes
6:07 PM
Kucinich looks too hight top elite...
6:08 PM
You are in the right place. Do you notice the placement of the candidates? Frontrunners in the middle (more air time that way). Keep those comments coming!
6:08 PM
Denis is a political too...If it were up to him, we would leave Iraq in a week...we just can't do that anymore...
6:09 PM
political tool not political too sry
6:09 PM
Hillar, taking the lead, still Bill richardson is more qualified than her.
6:10 PM
obama speaks the truth. dont just rat on the republicans... its all of us... to step up as citizens. I do agree that we need change too... but i hate hearing hilary talk!
6:10 PM
gravel is beatin on obama... WTH!
6:12 PM
OMG gravel!
6:12 PM
arent progressives and liberals very different? thats one way clinton can avoid the question.
6:12 PM
way too many old people...they will never win...we need a fresh face.
6:12 PM
Gravel is vicious... Obama was good to end the response with the whole leadership speech.
6:13 PM
Obama killed him!
6:13 PM
thats a good one...
6:13 PM
How do you think we should bring about "big change?"
6:14 PM
edwards is annoying. Why did he go and change the subject to change... they are talkin about workin with republicans here!
Elbaum... watchin this is making me get heeby-jeebies!
6:15 PM
Edwards- the person who speaks for the poor and his 600 dollar haircuts.
6:15 PM
i agree with kian on the oldness of these candidates. how can i chose a candidate that has no idea what the youth of this country want?
6:15 PM
Edwards made a good point and hes pretty young...
6:15 PM
Edwards really wants to limit those in power, huh...
AWWW The bunny is so cute!!
6:16 PM
i think edwards is annoying. hearing him talk makes me just as wigged out as hilary! and yes... i forgot to comment on the pink... its like barbie all over again.. but back to politics ...
6:16 PM
what a unique question? way do dis the candidates!
6:17 PM
big change happenes in 50 years, not in one election mr elbaum
6:18 PM
Fight reparations with ending discriminations against African Americans... that sounds like it might be difficult to enforce
6:18 PM
power to obama... = power to the schools eh?
6:18 PM
point for obama
6:18 PM
Obama hit the scools nice!
6:18 PM
obama is right... they should invest it in schools
6:18 PM
Edwards didn't answer the question about choosing a Republican candidate as a running mate.
6:18 PM
denis....bad answer...dont give black people money, give them opportunity.
6:19 PM
Is anyone else thinking about the Gravel commercial?
6:19 PM
O dang we just discused this crisis situation....
6:20 PM
Wow. That Katrina question is right out of our class discussion today.
6:20 PM
nope
6:20 PM
yea elbaum, gravel is an idiot in my opinion. I dont think he even has democratix support...
6:21 PM
katrina... they dont know crap! They havent been there. Yes, i agree that they probably wouldve responded quicker and it is a bit of a racist situation, but i feel like they havent been there and worked with the people, so they dont have the right to discuss the issue.
6:21 PM
Katrina was just like what we talked about today... Dodd was saying "Any major city"... does he mean to ignore small disasters?
6:21 PM
I want to hear richardson joke...
6:22 PM
we need to get a debate with the 3 leading anditates...the others wont win...
6:22 PM
obama not black enough lol
6:22 PM
He still has not identified that he is running as an African American, he keeps dancing around that fact
6:23 PM
haha we discused this too...
He wants to gnore this question though for some reason...
He doesnt want to take the direct hit about it.
6:24 PM
Bill Richerdson has HUGE ears!!!
Nice responce by Obama about not being black enough
6:24 PM
remember, many white people still feel ill of blacks. I dont think obama wants to get these people upset.
6:24 PM
i liked hilarys answer to the what is the meaning of liberal question...i thought it was very smart. Progressive, it maks sense
6:25 PM
Points for hillary +++
6:25 PM
Another point we discussed!! Obama kinda moved the focus from him to the nation's discrimination problem... very smart.
Clinton has a really great speech pattern that can appeal to normal Americans. Clean and simple.
6:25 PM
i like what obama is saying about race, but things dont just go away like that.
i am also getting a little annoyed with how they are "selling themselves" as we talked about... by saying "when she's inaugurated" or why "i am best for president"... talk about the issues people!!!
6:25 PM
BS he wants any vote he can get
6:25 PM
Question for the room? How is Anderson Cooper doing?
6:25 PM
I like edwards hair...
6:26 PM
look at edwards' hair...it looks so..nice
6:26 PM
Obama' comment about the repreration was a nice and i think if they do that then that would be wonderful.
6:26 PM
Edwards saying that he will be better for women than Hillary...pretty gutsy
6:27 PM
thank god ... hilary has one thing right! POWER TO THE WOMEN!
6:27 PM
cooper is pressuring the candidates like edwards thats good.
6:27 PM
It seems like no matter the candidate in the Democratic party it all seems very progressive
6:27 PM
Raising the minimum wage.... it's not completely good, but it's a good way to arouse support for those who did not study government...
6:28 PM
hmm...
6:28 PM
gayy isue ouch...
6:28 PM
edwards can get eaten up with that stance when it comes to debating. we need a manly person to be pres. not a weak chick
6:28 PM
denis- the bringer of empty promises. He cant do this.
6:28 PM
Does the "Rep." mean republican? Sorry if that's a stupid question... I thought it was a democratic debate.
6:29 PM
Hillary seemed to say that she isn't going to concentrate on woman's issues in her campaign because she didn't stress any real woman's issues
6:29 PM
remember, even cooper is gay.
6:29 PM
dod bailed on the gays.....
6:30 PM
Richardson wants a full civil union with full marriage rights (idk if thats right)
6:30 PM
Richardson started off good with same rights as marraige, but not same name, but will never get the republicans to agree with the other aspects of his ideas
6:30 PM
Ohh, tough question... It's a side we almost never hear about!
6:31 PM
Reverend Reggie is my new hero! Thats a great questioN!
6:31 PM
edwards got owned
6:32 PM
edwards is just stalling time...
6:33 PM
Edwards tap-dancing around gay marriage, a true politician
6:33 PM
Two democrats who do not support Gay Rights...
So Edwards is saying that the president shouldn't judge, but personally he doesn't support it...
6:33 PM
i just now saw hillary lol shes an eye sore
6:34 PM
i loved that last qusetion relating religion to limiting gay rights...i think it especially is more powerful coming from a priest who supports gay rights...and i think kusinitch answered the previous question great.
6:34 PM
reggie isnt satisfied. good second answer. its about what the people want. not the pres as an individual.
6:34 PM
individual denomination,,,
fancy laguage...
6:34 PM
Individual denominations... but rights and marriage are not held only within a state...
6:35 PM
If Edwards doesn't support gay marriage then why would he ever vote to legalize it?
6:35 PM
i was still looking for more of an answer than what we got... i dont blame reggie for bein unsatisfied with it!
6:36 PM
I want to see a question about legal marijuana or under age drinking
6:36 PM
hey elbaum - - - i dont think any of the candidates are really adressing the issues... they are more focused on themselves than the people... thats not right!
6:37 PM
Which one is Cooper
6:37 PM
i agree with yury abuot underage drinking...
6:37 PM
I've noticed Obama likes to take the focus away from himself, Edwards likes to talk around the question, and Clinton uses one liners to arouse applause.
But that's just me.
6:37 PM
yury. i totally agree. or about the driving age.
6:38 PM
No one is really answering questions right they are all beating around the bush. Just like Bush
6:39 PM
HAHA!!! Edward's hair TV spot is so funny.
6:39 PM
Sorry it took so long for me to leave a comment...I have to leave the room with the TV to get to the computer, and I was kind of engrossed in Hillary/ Edwards/ Obama women rights
6:39 PM
these politicians need to cut the crap and actually answer the questions
6:39 PM
Rachel, good point. I think the candidates want Americans to see their character and judge them based on that.
6:39 PM
Hey guy, im going to my neighbors house he has cnn and im taking my laptop there. Im tired of streaming lol
6:39 PM
about driving age... forget it... there are more important issues... like iraq, gay rights, katrina... the government needs to learn to take positive action and be certain... LEAD THE PEOPLE NOT SCREW OVER THE PEOPLE! COULD THE CANDIDATES BE ANY MORE ANNOYING! Talk about the issue... not yourselves...
Elbaum... i'm frustrated
6:40 PM
Is he even answering the question??
6:40 PM
no he is not answering the question! NO ONE IS... *grrr*
6:41 PM
Rachel- me too. I wish this entire debate could be about those issues you mentioned and nothing else.
6:41 PM
darfur came up and they are right.
6:41 PM
My comments are going to be a bit late...Im just comming up to the computer room during commercial breaks...
Anyway... The last question I heard was about religion affecting things such as gay marrige. I thought it was a good idea for Obama to leave the decision of gay marrige up to the different religions rather than basing the whole idea off the christain bible's definition. :)
6:42 PM
later dudes. i am one of those regular A.D.D. americans. plus ive got better things to do. have fun.
6:42 PM
Good response for the last question
6:42 PM
that gravel guy is angry cuz hes not getting enough time...
6:43 PM
I agree that we should not help people that do not want to be helped
6:43 PM
Aw, he got cut off... have to talk faster!
Clinton's answer is really good... the US shouldn't be the world police... we have our own issues...
6:44 PM
we're losing a fight that we started and shouldnt have started.
6:44 PM
I cant tell if edwards is really sad or just putting on a facade, and he was the only one actually looking
6:44 PM
Told you, Democrats hate the war but love the troops...
6:44 PM
Did you see the way Edwards was looking at the soldiers? It was just perfect
6:45 PM
blankin
6:45 PM
I think Hiliary should shut ip
6:45 PM
these guys with the exeption of denis, who is an idiot in my opinion, are to similar. The Republicans at least have divercity.
6:45 PM
HAHA good question
6:46 PM
The front runners (Obama and Clinton) seem to skirt the main issues, Clinton did this when they were talking about American troops in Darfur
6:46 PM
Good question
6:46 PM
Good burn obama
6:46 PM
The candidates that have less to lose seem more direct ( i.e. Richards)
6:47 PM
Obama did good on that last question
6:47 PM
That is not a bad plan if he could pull it off
6:47 PM
Did they prepare before deploying their troops
6:49 PM
points for clinton...
6:49 PM
The last question was a good one...I think that woman's idea of the Democrats' fear of the Republican "spin machine" is right on.
6:50 PM
oh man... i'm crying over here. Hilary... no... correction- none of the candidates know what its like! Yes, you send a family and their friends and etc... to war when you send an individual... are they really thinking about how many individuals are there... plus all those people that become involved.
I dont feel the candidates have a clue about Iraq. They are rattling off what they could do... not what they should do, and why... or how that affects us!
6:51 PM
That was a very great question.
Clinton can really play the emotional appeal.
They talked about the congress funding the war... he didn't make clear the fact that Bush is 'bullying' the congress on cutting the funding though.
All the candidates are getting emotional...
6:51 PM
Pay attention to Hil's accent...when she speaks in the south she (all of a sudden) speaks like a southerner!
6:52 PM
Richardson is definitely pointing out the fact that he is a Governor (not a senator)
6:52 PM
Good call brown...think "informal"
6:53 PM
I saw spit comming out of gravels mouth..ewww
6:54 PM
I like Gravel's passion, he seems like he could be a good leader
6:54 PM
^_^ Mike Gravel can talk....*flip-flop arm gesture*
6:54 PM
gravel... wow... i almost would give him my vote right now
6:54 PM
That guy looks like he was going to bust a vessil while he was talking
6:54 PM
Is it me or is Clinton's glaring at Obama...
Obama missed the question!!
6:55 PM
john spins the question again
6:55 PM
afreed with edwards...
6:56 PM
do i still get some credit if i watch the rest of it.
6:56 PM
Dobbs service has just danced around actuall fighting, a fake service
6:57 PM
How can the Iraqi government say it's too hot? Shouldn't they be used to the heat? The soldiers aren't,and they deal with it + the 100 lbs of gear, as Obama pointed out...
6:57 PM
i agree with hilary people should volunteer to fight for their country not made...
6:58 PM
the iraq government is failing no less...vacation....lmao
6:58 PM
Pay attention to Hil's accent...when she goes down South she starts speaking like a Southerner (how convinient!)
6:58 PM
This debate keeps tying race with gender
6:58 PM
I am getta about tired of them talking about what they have done. Just tell use what are you going to do. Stop bragin and boosted and strat answering the questions
6:59 PM
Draft question was kinda answered the same way by everyone.
6:59 PM
shadae you are absoluitly right.
7:00 PM
Gravel is a physco
7:00 PM
they are showing a lot of questions.. maybe you have a good chance...
7:00 PM
It would make sense for women to have to register for the draft....we want complete equality, and that's something that happens to come with it. I wouldn't want all of my friends (mostly all male) and my little brother going off to war while I'm forced to sit here in America and watch them just because I'm a girl. Obama's refference to the African American troops was a good one...
7:00 PM
Is Hillary wearing pink so she will appear more approachable/ friendly?
7:01 PM
Awesome question about diplomatic relations and gender, I think as a diplomat the will humor her but as a leader they would see weakness
7:01 PM
The Muslim states who we need to take us seriously already don't. I don't believe that Hillary's presidency really change anything...
7:02 PM
Good question for Hil about women leading in the Arab world...any thoughts on that?
7:02 PM
hilary can be taken seriously, but i dont think she knows what she is talking about half of the time... and coming from a family of army personel... i agree. If there was a draft, i would sign up... if not volunteer to fight first. We are just as strong and independant... powerful... as men!
7:02 PM
obama has big ears
7:03 PM
ok im online.. barack is awesome and so is hillary but gravel is just wow...
7:03 PM
Good, obama wants to talk and open up communications, that is the only way to tell where they stand in their beliefs toward us, unlike Bush, he favors diplomacy over force, which will give respect back into the nation
7:03 PM
also though there are women leading elsewhere, there are also women who arent citizens of their countries and have to cover all but their eyes... so there is a bit of a dispute on her statement in my mind
7:03 PM
That dude has Harry Potter glasses
7:04 PM
i like obamas answear...
7:04 PM
Obama had a really good and straight answer, and he sure is promising many things.
Clinton seems to be a bit more realistic. I agree with her.
7:04 PM
i am sooo trying to pay attention but i have no idea what they are talking about... im trying to get into it tho.
7:04 PM
Yury...how do you think Richardson is doing>
7:04 PM
thats so sad his son died befor him
7:05 PM
I think John Edwards would make a better VP for Hillary Clinton than a regular President...they compliment eachother very well...
7:06 PM
He isn't answering enough.
I want him to be able to joke. He isn't showing the best speech but he needs to have a chance to talk about his qualifications.
7:06 PM
Remember in class we talking about Primaries as a constraint on president power---these guys are all making big promises---almost like READ MY LIPS, I'LL TAKE US OUT OF IRAQ
7:07 PM
I agree with Amanda about Edwards. But he is still really young.
7:07 PM
No residual forces would be unreasonable and diplomatic suicide for the Iraqi government
7:07 PM
They are doing okay with this question
7:08 PM
this senator is always saying lets speak the truth...like everyone else is lying.
7:08 PM
Oh noes. Richardson is getting hated.
7:09 PM
Notice how the "fringe" candidates (Biden, Kuc, Richardson, Gravel) are being more bold---they need a miracle to stay competitive.....Obama and Hil are playing "not to win"
7:09 PM
only one person answered the full question! How many relatives do they have in uniform! I WANT TO KNOW!
7:09 PM
correction---"not to lose"
7:10 PM
I like Hiliary's Pink Jacket
7:10 PM
