A round of applause for all the Democratic candidates on a great debate (positive tread)

[IndianaGreen]

I think of this debate as going to eat at a reputable cafeteria. All the food is good and safe, unlike the food at the PissedBurger place run by Bush across the street. We may prefer some dishes over others, but all of them are excellent.

1. Great job by the candidates nt

[IndianaGreen]

2. What a contrast with the Republican candidates!

All of which are devoid of ideas outside of yelling 9-11 about everything.

[valerief]

3. Yeah, no one in drag, no one lying about hunting, and no one

singing about bombing Iran.

A classy bunch of Dems.

[IndianaGreen]

5. No tasteless jokes about IEDs

like McCain did on The Daily Show yesterday.

[PresidentObama]

4. Very impressive debate. I was proud of all of them n/t

[Forkboy]

6. I thought they all did well.

Early debates are almost always vanilla. :)

[IndianaGreen]

9. Brian Williams wasn't pitching softballs either!

I thought they all did great, and their supporters should feel pretty proud of their candidates.

[Forkboy]

15. I know a lot of people will hate the questions,and some were silly

but I'd rather see that than a bunch of predictable questions that lets them just fall back on practiced lines and speeches.

7. We have a super lineup of candidates.

I like them all. No nose-holding when I vote in '08.

:applause:

[PresidentObama]

8. Tonight showcased why we will win in 2008. What a field!! n/t

[IndianaGreen]

11. The media-named "lower tier" candidates showed themselves to be on a par

with the "top tier."

I am watching the post-debate show with Tweety and Keith, and it is pretty good to watch the candidates expand on their views.

10. I didn't hold my nose in 2004. Don't care about 08 right now

Sorry. :shrug:

[katsy]

13. Neither did I in '04 or '00.

Just a proud democrat I guess.

No flame - just a :pals:

Take your time.

[politicasista]

14. Aww, Thanks

On edit: no flame. :hi: :hug:

[AnOhioan]

12. They all did well

Kucinch and Edwards were the best of the lot. Gravel...let me just say he did fine...this being positive thread.

[David Zephyr]

16. Anyone of them would be 1 million times better than GW Bush.

I think that because Hillary and Obama are ahead in the polls, that simply because they didn't mess up that they would win by default.

But I honestly, from the bottom of my heart, think they all did well.

[Alamom]

17. Bravo to them all.

I'm curious if the rules will be followed as well and a courteous atmosphere will prevail with the "other side" next week.

[illinoisprogressive]

18. the best dem. field I remember

[SaveElmer]

19. Well...

I have to say I agree...I thought they did very well...and most importantly, the focus was on the true enemy...not on scoring points against each other....
