36. I think he did well iin answering the blatant attacks of the first hour.
I don't think it was his strongest debate on the issues in the seconod hour. It's a damn shame it took them an hour to actually GET TO the issues, however. :mad:

17. if you call here are the menu numbers so you don't have to listen to the recording
when you call they will pass you to a recording to save time
go to #2 then #6 then # 639

by the way the operator was stunned and at a complete loss of words saying that they are being overwhelmed by the reaction

18. Yucky Hillary
The debate on TV in Denver is only 46 minutes old.

Two comments ... the ABC questioners are asking horrible questions.

But, secondly, Hillary is answering these gottcha questions like a whiny, negative, BITTER loser.

Sheesh, lady, stop being such a wet blanket!

By the way, the both look very, very tired.

I Have Watched Most of the Debates
I have watched most of the debates, and my dog is out of the race. I have chosen who I am supporting to win the democratic nomination. I will say I feel that this was one of the worst moderated debates (and thats saying a lot) of any of the debates I have watched.

I feel a moderator should only interrupt a candidate to call time. Not to question them mid answer. They made a big deal out of how they were going to make sure the candidates got equal time. Did they count equal interruptions?

69. this is spot on...
this wasn't a debate. it was a test to see what non-relevant issues would make the most people vote for mcbush, no matter how bad mcbush is.

i honestly don't think it would matter if jesus himself was running against whatever rethug is put up for show. the media will make sure it's close enough to steal, again.
