Cool! Can't Wait! :-]

Ask Hillery and Edwards. When the Republicans were in the majority they threatened the Democrats to take some kind of Legal action if they filibustered? What was that Legal action? And why can't the Democrats do the same thing now?

This is one of the best debates, I have seen, because it has allowed input from the American people and not from political pundits and from the media alone.

The questions are varied and are valid, and some candidates answer better than others, but this debate is allowing for the public to see the varied answers on the same question.

Nice debate, but is it me, or did Hillary, Obama, Edwards, and Biden get most of the question time. I tended to cringe when Mike Gravel talked, but he only did that 4-5 times the entire night. Have we (CNN) already chosen the top 3 candidates? Question time didn't seem even close to equal.

I've seen several presidential debates and this was far and away the most encouraging. No one knows how Anderson Cooper decided to whom to address the questions, but the questions--on their own--were serious and effect (affect?) us all. I'm sure CNN and YouTube decided the questions...but at last someone asked some of the ones I would have asked.

I am pleased at the depth of response the candidates (often) answered with. Astonished, even, at the passion that escaped a few times. This is a fantastic approach to a debate and I am hoping for a chance for the Republicans to engage in this manner.

I have to call the debate a draw for the top tier and with Richardson and Biden tying (imo) on the 2nd tier.

Hillary keeps surprising me.
Eddie did better this time
Biden always candid. I like that.
Kucinich's smile looked so fake (sorry jmo)
Richardson clearly could hit the ground running

I like them all compared to their PUG counterparts it's like SUNSHINE versus OLD MOLD.

Great format this time. I enjoyed it.

Howard looked pleased too when they panned over to him.

Really excited about this debate. And now I think I finally know who I'll be supporting for President.

My friends and I are concerned about something Mr. Obama said during the debate. It's the phrase "the war on terror." This is a republican phrase that is meaningless and especially undefinable. I don't think it serves Mr. Obama's purposes to use it and I think that all the candidates should abandon or define it. It gives the public the idea that we are at endless war and it's just an excuse to abuse the law. What is the war on terror?

Freeforall had a good comment, it was a good debate, some of the questions were bad, some of the questions were really good. I wish I had a webcam so I could have sent one.

I thought the debate was not good. It's the
same old, same old. Nothing new, no real plans,
just saying what they thought people wanted to hear. I didn't watch it all the way through, thought it was too boring.

Which candiate will drop the bomb, on "THE DRUG WAR"

Differeiate crime&drugs, The totoitarian assinine percercution of people who smoke Marijuana, Medicial or Otherwise.

mpp.org has just about every truth about Marijuaana. Still using it to discredit or Marginilize the topic.

The Federal government is Totally moronic , O.D.N.C.P. and the Drug Tsar continues to lie and spread disinformation about the "SAFEST DRUG" in the world. I'M Not saying there should be no control of it. The Congress needs to lead the way and make Californias' PROP215 "the Law of the land". The Democratic congress should "Lead the way" on the last vestage of open intollerance and bigotry. The FACTS as Bush would say "them legilizerss" wount get nuttin from me.
Recently Al Gores' Home was raided because he is paying by leaving the lights on his property on. NARCS" ? GROWING POT! and the feds were all over his home, with Drug sniffing dogs, and about 50 to 70 Various Drug enforcement orginizations. Why He just leaves the lights on, and he has a big place.
They use the same tatits the NAZI's did Say a LIE long enough and people who dont check the facts believe it after awhile. The Constituion Never ever ment for a "DRUG COURT".

This has started , this quisiperverversion and THE RESULT is Children takeing Substances "made from every-day items" To do what, Escape reality or for get That they have ben Molested or beat by bad parents. What monsters will their generation create?
We are in the 21st century and our drg laws are based on a hand full of people. The very first Drug Tsar "Thought it Redidolis to make Hemp ILLegal. But Dupont Wanted the goverment to replace the Hemp on all the Navys' ships. Even to this day, sailors use 21thred manilla (hemp) rope as it is more reliable than the equvilant NYLON product.
In the 1909 KKK march (sen Byrd might of ben there" Hooded Men carring signs saying "marijuana promotes race mixing'' Poor white's used it muggle the whites called it, and only criminals of the worst sort, used it. The HURST Publishing Empire would make Granious Lies about Marijuana they even made a film "REFER MADNISS" Slanderious it was then, Slandorious PROPAGANDA! and they are paying the madison ave ADD people to day to make Propaganda of the Horrors of pot. They repealed Probition. Booze is 10000X more dangerious. The Kids start out nipping at there parents Liquor at home then as they get older going to bars' Get Drunk and Kill themselves driving Drunk. I workes as an security person in the United States Navy, for over 7 years Breaking up fights because the drug Alchol was legal. I Noticed people who smoked pot, were on the sidelines talking or trying to help break up fights caused by booz.
On my watch we tamed doge city (Deaigo Garcia B.I.O.T) not 1 death on the Island. every year before 7-8 young sailors or other branches Died each year.
The "WAR ON DRUGS" IS A WAR ON US AMERICANS and on the world stage Terrorism, AS a democrat I Like the 2 Repbulicans, The Gonover of New Mmexico, and the guy who is nick named Dr. NO He wants to restore the REPUBLIC and Bring our resores back home. Kick the UNITED NATIONS out of America I dont know.. Greenland looks like a ggood place for it. Cut OFF 60-70% of forigen aid, and quit giving mega Corporations money. I'm voteing for the candidate that would stand up to the Entrenched Tetno and breaucrats who have life time job. Afat wallet, two or 3 homes. And we would not be turnining into an America thats really a corporation. The top 2% and Bottom 3% KEEP US< The 95% Fighting about fivilous things. I Thought O'rrrillie was bad, Shun Nenedy is A PUNK, Has no life expereience and all of Fox's shows are about smering the Democrats. It makes me want to puke!
Alexander Hamiliton Lost his Life in a Duel, But it is His vision of world goverment that is forming. As Thomas Jefferson Ideals' won the day at that time I.E.. There is Prof that thhe FOUNDERS would trade Hemp seeds via letters talk about the diffrent quallites each had., The pursuit of Happiness. They found pipes with resin in them at William Shakespear. There was probally a bag of weed in J Eders Hovers closit.? I say let the congress Hold hearings on POT. Have congressman change the law as there seems to be some sinister organ that is secret that only a handfull of men run the country, and it dosent matter if Mickey Mouse got the job.
