Disappointed in Debate...

[HardWorkingDem]

What irked me about the debate was how Russert and Williams focused on Clinton, Obama and Edwards and I think this was mainly out of hopes for a real batch of fireworks and ratings.

I don't care if Kucinich is seen as a joke and it pisses me off that Gravel wasn't there. Each candidate should be given equal time until they are out of the race. I would have loved to have heard Kucinich chastise the UFO question. That was just one of the dynamic duo's tactics to make him seem to be loony so he would fit the all ready well crafted and media manipulate image of him.

Personally, Dodd really impressed me tonight and acted quite presidential.

1. I think they did a grave injustice to the American people who have only

heard about the top three and now, since that's where all the focus was tonight, they haven't really learned much about any of the other candidates who might be more aligned with their views.

It was insulting to the other candidates as were the questions to them all.

I've been upset at that same approach at the other debates, but tonight was absolutely a sham.

2. I agree

I agree with both of you. Each candidate should be given equal time and they should go in order from left to right on our screen. At least they didn't cut people off mid-sentence like Wolf Blitzer did. And can we get a few different questions this time? I know foreign policy and stuff is important and should be talked about, but I've heard very little about other important stuff like crime, the economy and other stuff.

3. Same here. I want all the candidates to have the same amount of time...

given to them. Why is that not possible? How can candidates really pull ahead unless they have zillions of dollars in their war chests? Still, Biden did great with what little time he had.

4. I can't disagree.

I don't know how anyone can promote poll numbers as valid when opportunities to learn about each candidate are this corrupt.
