Poll question: Does Edwards' Dropping Out Make Your More Or Less Interested In Tomorrow's Debate?
I'm more interested now, because I think tomorrow is going to be World War III.

1. More, particularly if there is any movement in the polls in favor of Obama.
That should make for more pressure on each of them. One who is behind in the polls and the other who senses the polls may be turning.

be tuning in.

14. mmmm.....
gee, which corporate candidate will they let me vote for? maybe this time a Republican-at least they are up front about stealing from me, unlike the Dems who pretend they aren't stealing from me.

4. Definitely more....
There should be a poll as to who will go negative first - Obama or Hillary.

Obama did first last time with Wal-Mart.....remember?

7. Your memory is fading, apparently.
It was Hillary who went negative first at the last debate, claiming Obama supported Reagan's ideas.

Watch it again. His Wal-Mart comment was in response to that.

5. Strangely, more.
Even though I was an Edwards fan after Richardson dropped out, and even though I think he brought a unique and powerful voice to debates, the clarity of one on one is a new wrinkle which raises the stakes. One of these will be the nominee - pipedreams of Gore and brokered conventions notwithstanding. One of them will do a better job explaining to all voters why they should be. Very soon most of us who pay a lot of attention will be able to see who it's going to be. There's an excitement in that that in some ways makes up for the loss of variety and range without Edwards and the already-departed second tier guys.

8. I've read their position statements
I know their records, what they do, what they promise, what they don't follow through on.

Why would I want to watch them debate? Its meaningless.

I'm getting on with life, lots of things to do.

9. Less...
As a Kucinich supporter, John Edwards was the only reason I continued to watch the debates. I know everything I need to know about the stands of the remaining two and have seen more enough to make a judgement.

I am done with the Democratic debates.

10. More, but it's that driving past a car wreck kind of interest. I don't want to look yet I want to.
It's going to be ugly.

19. I am done watching debates!
Ever since Biden and Dodd dropped out, and the MSM kept Kucinich and Gravel out, the debates have become as boring as watching reruns of Twilight Zone.
