:9

[Dawggie]

4. I know whatcha mean. I'm going to throw some veggies into the microwave. n/t

[rodeodance]

3. give it some REC's

[Dawggie]

6. Thanks. & let's keep this up until the break is over.

:toast:

[book_worm]

5. I think Clinton and Edwards are more polished debators than Obama

who is great as a speaker with a prepared speech, but in a debate setting he seems a bit shaky.

[Elspeth]

9. He needs a few more years on him, that's all.

I wish he had waited to run, especially against a couple of experienced Presidential campaigners. I like him, but Edwards is making him look like a kid.

[bridgit]

12. that sounds right...

[goodgd_yall]

7. Edwards is redeeming himself a bit in my eyes

By challenging Obama. I got sick of his always going after Hillary.

[onehandle]

8. So we have two sets of threads going?

Thread 5

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4147134

[Dawggie]

11. I've asked the mods to lock the first one. n/t

[onehandle]

15. I mean Magic Rat's threads in GD-P.

Up to thread 5 now.

[Dawggie]

19. I think this is the only one in GD right now.

Peace.

[Elspeth]

31. That cess pool? Nah...

I'll stay here, thank you.

[bridgit]

10. and they're off...

14. heehee

Obama made a funny :)

[Bonobo]

16. Obama great line = "Edwards want white males to vote..."

Funny as hell. Good natured joking.

[Elspeth]

17. Cute. He's better when he doesn't have to be adversarial

[AntiFascist]

20. Hillary - tell us about your work for Systematics?

[trashcanistanista]

22. It seems like we have a draw on who has the

most "core poverty values". Movin' on.

[Dawggie]

23. Now Obama's making points

discussing his history as a civil rights attorney.

Let's see how Edwards responds.

[Dawggie]

29. He responds well.

More history in actually working with the poor.

[book_worm]

best laugh line of night by Obama: "a race with an AA, a woman, and John."

[bridgit]

27. by the look on John's face, at John's expense it would seem...

:)

[Elspeth]

30. Made you kind of feel for John.

He's looking good.

[bridgit]

32. he is looking good, but that was a definate...

:wtf: moment in time

[trashcanistanista]

24. Good on Obama for redefining race and the media

and moving beyond it.

[RedCappedBandit]

25. Edwards wants to fight Bill O'Lielly

Hahaha.. that was funny/awesome.

[Elspeth]

28. He knows his audience

:)

[blogslut]

26. Obama - "An African American, a Woman

and...John"

heehee

[Elspeth]

33. Oh my god! Bill Clinton was first black president..

I'm sure Obama is hating Tony Morrison right now.

[trashcanistanista]

35. Obama handled it beautifully, I must say!

[Elspeth]

39. "His dancing ability...." LOL!

Thought that was well handled.

[book_worm]

44. yes, he did.

[trashcanistanista]

34. John wins when he spoke about the poor family.

But Obama is edging up closer and complimenting Bill Clinton and John.

[Dawggie]

36. Whoa... Did Obama just diss the South?

saying the south is still racist (in so many words)?

[shadowknows69]

37. O: I'd have to judge bill's dancing ability

Before I could tell if he was a brother!

Bwah ha ha ha

[Lone_Star_Dem]

42. That was funny!

:rofl:

[951-Riverside]

41. The south isnt racist anymore?

Reeeally?

[Dawggie]

47. I'm a Southerner and I can say I'm not.

I did march with Hosea Williams in Cartersville GA against the KKK.

Dems down here are NOT racist.

[trashcanistanista]

43. Obama is handeling the race issue well. He is

extremely well prepared on that, so is Hillary. This is media driven BS.

[Elspeth]

45. Yeah, but it is a relief after the smackdown earlier

Both were probably planned

[book_worm]

38. Hillary put it nicely regarding Edwards: "A son of the South"

[Elspeth]

40. Very gracious.

I liked it.

[bridgit]

46. that just sounded right to me...

[goclark]

55. They are playing Nicey to John with hopes

that he will swing their way when he drops out.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

62. It's very fun to watch!

MKJ

[helderheid]

48. tuning in late

[goodgd_yall]

60. You missed the fight!

[Dawggie]

49. Hey Hil! It's not just AA's that are arrested in such unproportional quantities anymore.

What about Latinos?

(Oh, I forgot. We're building that fence now)

[Elspeth]

51. Maybe the SC audience doesn't care about Latinos. Now in CA, that will be really imporant

..

[Dawggie]

53. Point. n/t

[trashcanistanista]

50. Good on John to bring up New Orleans.

This should be a campaign issue for all and no one should forget it.

[Elspeth]

52. YES!

...

[trashcanistanista]

56. You are correct,

no mention of Latino's.

[helderheid]

54. Did Hillary just say Bill was a tremendous asshat?

Ooooh... ASSET!! Sorry.

(I couldn't resist, sorry!!)

[Elspeth]

57. LOL!!!!!!!

But an asshat who can dance. :)

[helderheid]

58. cha cha cha!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

59. Whew, finally found a thread. There's a competition for the most trolliest OP on the latest page.

:toast:

MKJ

[Dawggie]

64. Glad you found us!

[Elspeth]

65. This has been a pretty nice thread so far

I will take that beer, though. :)

[Dawggie]

61. John closes with great points before the advert.

He hasn't taken money from pacs or lobbyists and Hil and Obama have.

[Elspeth]

66. And, he could beat McCain. It was good that he mentioned that.

...

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

63. Ohh, do you think some recent posters will defect to the "Raging" CNN message board.

More eyes! MKJ

[spanone]

67. that was funny....went over there.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

78. LOL, well it was Leslie who labeled it as sizzler...

which should say something!

:rofl:

MKJ

[Elspeth]

69. Is it not raging?

:)

[Dawggie]

68. Obama gets applause for stating he's a Christian...

Oh, jeebus.

[Elspeth]

70. Crap

...

[book_worm]

71. Since they all sat down it's been a much more civilized debate.

[Elspeth]

74. I wonder if it was planned that way. Though, CNN is taking viewer comments

and lots of comments were that viewers didn't like the bickering.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

72. I really like Sen Obama, he's so smart and intuitive. I can see how he was a fantastic

Constitutional law professor.

MKJ

[trashcanistanista]

73. Who can best beat McCain?

Hillary? John? Yes, on not taking money.

[trashcanistanista]

75. Uh oh, here it comes!

[helderheid]

77. yowza!

[Elspeth]

80. Hmm....It's turning nasty.

:(

[951-Riverside]

82. John

[AlCzervik]

76. oh snap, Lobby, lobby, lobbyists!

[Emit]

83. John needs to get this out

another reason he's good for the debate -- let's get this dicussion out on the table

[book_worm]

79. now Edwards and Clinton are going at it.

[Elspeth]

81. Noooooooooo....

Although she had to answer his charges.

[Elspeth]

84. She is for public financing?

First I've heard that.

[Emit]

90. I missed that -- what did she say?

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

88. Oh, Edwards struck a nerve with both.

Whew.

MKJ

[Emit]

89. And Obama changes the topic

quickly

[trashcanistanista]

85. Tag teaming HIllary.

[Elspeth]

86. Yep. That's it.

Rats.

[begin_within]

87. I wish they'd just have a pillow fight.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

91. Edwards is mesmerizing, and a flawless speaker.

MKJ

[KaryninMiami]

93. He's making me proud- they all are- but Edwards is shining bright.

[trashcanistanista]

99. Edwards was good. I hope he wins SC and gets

more viable. Hillary was good in the quick change from good/evil. She is a master of that in that respect. Obama's inexperience was apparent. He needs to do better.

[shadowknows69]

98. He would just tear the rethugs apart

I'm not that confident in Hillary or Barack. They seem to get frazzled too easy when the discussion isn't going their way.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

92. Oh, and Leslie had to mention how unfortuate it is that Dr. King is dead.

I guess that passes for his "sensitive" side. MKJ

[shadowknows69]

96. I know. what a bonehead

[blogslut]

94. And it's ovah!

:hi:

[Dawggie]

95. Thanks to all who participated in this discussion!

[shadowknows69]

97. That was a pretty good one

thanks Dawggie!!

[Dawggie]

100. LOL... I did nothing.

It was our candidates that did it all.
