Some people asked if video was available; her 'tis.

1. The Three-candidate debate???

Nearly halfway into the ten minute video before someone other than one of the "Top 3" is asked to comment.

I wasn't able to watch the debate live, but I suspect this was probably indicative of the entire debate format. Am I wrong?

2. See for yourself: here's Dodd's handy 'talk clock':

3. Too much Hillary. Too obviously fixed for Hillary.

Is there any way to get the video of the whole debate without some fat lady talking over it? I tried the CNN site, but could not get a video without the commentary of that boring fat lady (can't remember her name, something like cowlick). Please.

The debate seemed to be completely fixed in favor of Hillary. The question about diamonds or pearls was insulting to a female candidate, in my view.

4. this was edited to be entirely about hillary

thats why theres "too much hillary." But seeing it live, i thought the only person there was too much of was blitzer

5. Hillary as Orwellian "Big Sister"

I'd like to know WHO stacked the audience with Hillary supporters to make her seem more popular than she actually is among democrats. They cheered her every breath, and booed everyone else. Her complaints about Republican playbook used against her were hypocritical, her campaign uses Rove-like manipulations of events (planted questions and audiences, corporate media echo chambers). WTF. He answers were evasive and her humor fell flat. I'm for Edwards, but he's beginning to sound like a broken record-even though he's got the core of the problem about hillary right as the "corporate party". Biden got it right too.
