Democratic debate thread.

I will start it since everybody else seem intent on infighting.

Just tuned in. We have George Snuffalupagus, Donna Brazile, Cokey Roberts, and some dude moderating. I invite DUers to contribute as long as we all stick to the debate topics.

Have at it DUers. Let's be polite.
