3. Edwards gets my money and my vote. I hope he
goes on the Independent ticket if he doesn't get the nomination.

5. Wahooo. Edwards just said "we will not have a change in this country if we replace
corporate republicans with corporate democrats"

and wolf is going alright alright alright trying to shut him up...but the audience is whooping.

Edwards is an outsider now and can speak truth to the
power.

9. Well, Edwards is against Nafta and the trade agreements, says they have to
be re-negotiated.

What he's referriing to above is that Hillary is corporate democrat...bought by the lobbyists.

Unfortunately they're ignoring Kucinish btw

7. TimeWarner wants Hillary. They benefit most from her and least from a populist.
Why do you think they worked so hard to kill Dean with the repeated "scream" video. TimeWarner wants nothing to do with populism.

11. Edwards did it again, said Hillary is a corporate demo, takes money from lobbyists
and her cheering section booed him

Word is that both Hillary and Obama bussed in supporters to the Jefferson debate and they must have
here too.

Hillary certainly is knowledgeable and has the experience but I just could not vote for her for exactly that reason. She is a Nafta, Tafta, corporate
dem. A globalist. So is Dodd he just made clear. Global economy. We have to get back to Buy American and self sufficiency in manufacturing, pharmas, and food.

12. Look where Wolf comes from, the Pat Robertson school of broadcasting
Does Wolf Blitzer Owe His Career to Pat Robertson?
http://www.yuricareport.com/Media/OnPatRobertsonWolfeBlitzerAndDavidCorn.html

"But it’s sort of strange to realize that Pat and Wolf Blitzer go way back together. Yep! Wolf used to work for Pat Robertson's CBN way back when Pat was setting up his news bureau and Wolf was the 700 Club’s reporter from the Middle East. He was a lot younger in those days, but in those beginning days Pat exposed Wolf Blitzer to a viewing audience that topped the Nielsen ratings at 28.7 million monthly viewers! That’s a great way to launch one’s career. But Wolf Blitzer likes to keep that part of his career kind of quiet. He doesn’t list the 700 Club’s news bureau in his biography. He doesn’t tell CNN’s audience that Pat was like an angel to him when he was just an independent reporter starting out. But those of us who watched Pat’s show could never forget Wolf Blitzer’s reports. He was presented to us as such an expert—we were just so proud of him! And look how high he’s gone. You’d think he’d give Pat a little credit. No doubt he says “Thanks” by inviting him on CNN!

After all, Pat started a J-School (Journalism School) and Bob Slosser, who had worked for the New York Times became the President of CBN University and Bob Slosser shared Pat’s vision of a new America. Slosser was at the graduation of the first graduate from the Institute of Journalism, it was a young lady named Eliza Wright. And the Governor of Missouri, a fellow named John Ashcroft gave the graduation speech on May 20, 1985! (My how these folks go way back together—and it shows what loyalty can do!) Bob Slosser told the 700 Club audience that day:

“We’re going to change the way the country thinks, we’ve bought into this secularism thing and that’s taken us right down the wrong path. I believe that this institution and those like this…will change the way this country thinks!”

16. Edward's views about the future and Biden on foreign policy. That's the Dem dreamteam
HRC is more of the same. Obama could do a decent job too but, like HRC, he scares me on really doing the job vs. globalized corporations.

EDWARDS is the candidate the GOP fears the most, IMHO. They'll have a field day with anyone but Edwards and Biden.

17. And Dennis got big cheers on talking impeaching Bush Cheney which Wolf didnt like either
sounds like Dennis' idea is catching.
Biden , Edwards agreeing they need to be impeached, and the audience with him.

Yep.

19. According to limpballs, blitzer is just afraid
that the Clintons will have him wacked, just like they "did" with Vince Foster. According to the pig boy a threat was made to wolfie although blitzer denies it.

21. If you read further up, Blitzer used to be with Pat Robertson. That splains alot.
Maybe if fatso knew that, he'd shut up and start praising Wolf.

Personally I wish they'd send him to announcer's school to lower his voice 3 or 4 octaves. That high whiney voice makes me nuts. I usually change the channel. Even Tweety's voice is better than Wolf's.

20. Obama just got nasty - right in Hillary's face and it didnt go over big, not with me either
Edited on Thu Nov-15-07 09:55 PM by kelligesq
and I'm not even voting for her.

He compared Hillary as being like Giuliani and Romney!

Sorry, but I think Obama is a loser in more ways than one.

Youth like him cause he comes across as the youngest.

He just strikes me as a windbag. A younger windbag. :D

26. Blitzer went after Edwards hard early in the debate
So did the other candidates. His sanctimonious mud slinging is pissing off everybody.

27. Don;t know about that. He got a lot of cheers. Obama went after Clinton worse, twice
In the beginning they were shouting at each other.

And then towards the end he said something again.

But as much as we dont like it, attacks are what people remember especially if they make sense

One thing about Hillary tonight, she was getting mad and it showed on her face before she remembered to smile

35. I thought Obama's differences were more on substance
like health care. I thought Obama got the better of his tussles. I think Edwards looked foolish.

I agree Hillary looked mad. Seems to have worked though, from what I'm hearing from the debate spin on CNN.

30. Look at who CNN is using to critique the DEM Candidates. Kind of says it all....
J.C. Watts is a total waste, a mental lightweight, and a Repub apologist with an agenda to see to it that Hillary is the Democratic Nominee.

David Gergin, a Hillary backer if there was one.

Same for James Carville, advisor to the Hillary Campaign.

So who do you think they are going to say won the Debate? Right.

32. True, in my mind its not winner of debate, but who has good points...hers
I thought were the same old thing.

Biden's were excellent.

Edwards was really really good at expressing how we
all feel about this administration, and laying out about "proliferator of weapons of mass destruction, we've seen this move, we know how it turns out"
(meaning Hillary why did you vote for it?)

But they didnt give anybody but the other 3 good enough opportunities which stinks.

36. Biden was dynamite tonight
He really put on a fantastic show and made himself look good. Obama came out ahead. Hillary avoided disaster. Everybody went after Edwards tonight and he looked bad. Hillary really hurt him when she said Edwards opposed universal health care. Many commenting on the debate think the fights at the beginning made all involved look bad.

37. Yes, Biden had good answers, but I thought Edwards hit all the points
he's so right, change is not replacing corporate repunlicans with corporate democrats, a direct swipe at Hillary.

Biden and Edwards did best I thought.

Hillary held her own, but she's still a warmonger and
Kucinich, Biden and Edwards showed that.

33. It was stacked for Hillary from the beginning
Everyone is noticing. Edwards gets booed for pointing out that he is showing differences? Did she bring her own contingent to sit in the audience? It was ridiculous. They were heckling and everything. THEN to see who they bring in to do the after debate analysis. Geez, could you be more obvious?

What a joke this debate was!

34. all anderson cooper is talking about is Hillary hillary hillary, howd she do
the MSM is making up the peoples mind who the candidate will be

and it sucks. People are led like sheep.

If they're going to figure it out by applause meter, they shouldnt let them bus supporters in.

I saw the woman with the Marine son head straight for
Edwards after the debate.
