MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann will be hosting which should make for a great forum. Candidate Mike Gravel will not be appearing at tonight’s forum and there’s conflicting information as to why. You can watch the candidate’s prerecorded opening statements here.

baby jesus is on it
Welcome folks to the Democrud debate. Hold your noses and hold on. This is Captain Kangaroo and I’ll be your commentator for the evening. There will lies and bigger lies. Your job will be to post whenever you feel like it and pass along your insight.
Sweet Baby Jesus where did you come from?
[ok, pace yourself.]
[No, really, go easy.]
Dodd didn’t really address the question.
baby jesus is bored already
OK site monitor. I’ll stay on point. Just excited. :lol:
oh man, my man gravel is the life of the party.
It won’t be the same.
This “debate” is already boring and tiring.
Having a debate outside is causing the candidates to yell. Stop yelling at me!
My question to Clinton and Obama is how can you claim to be a leader if you can not even lead your fellow Democrats on such important issues as warrantless wire tapping? If you can even lead your colleague’s how can we trust you to lead the Country?
Captain Kangaroo - do you have a job? wife? life?
When does it start ?
[deleted - off topic. Please take it to an open thread. Thanks.]
nevermind.. just had to visit the site.. 7pm pacific I believe
These are Edwards people.
He’s going to eat the other candidates alive.
Any way to view it on line? Even Faux did THAT fer chrissakes.
Who cares, establishment swine all except kucinich.
AnnCoultersMoustache @ 10:
None of these candidates voted for the new FISA law. None of them are Majority Leader or Speaker.
FreedomFries @ 11:
Some things are more important than that.
One thing that gets to me is that they don’t answer the questions. Can you take away points for that?
Kucinich is good.
Man this is fucking boring.
Marty @ 16:
Um, MSNBC.
It’s pretty hot out there.
Waiting for the sweat to roll.
Ack, infrastructure is the easy topic of the week.
Hillary strategy: Blame Al Gore.
Let’s move on to a question about gutting the 4th Amendment.
NAFTA pander-ganda
msnbc has a link, but I can’t get anything to show on it
God help me, but ALL of them are starting to seriously annoy me. Does anyone else feel this way? I think there have been to many debates so far if that’s possible and this season is far too long.
“Giant Sucking Sound”
baby jesus is very annoyed
gimtmeabreak @ 28:
I never thought I’d agree. I never thought I’d frown on more debates. It does get repetitious.
I’m agreeing with most of them…..but, what can you say, they’re pandering to the Unions.
Obama said President of Canada. They have a Prime Minister I think. Will this be big news tomorrow?
Is Gravel there? He’ll liven things up.
Ooh! Turn the lobbying screw to Hill. Go-bama!
Biden’s been taking his vitamins or something.
BlueKnuckle @ 18:
That is not acceptable. I know how they voted, however if they were not able to get their fellow senators to vote responsibly they let not only their constitutions down, they let America down . There is no excuse for allowing a freshman senator like Jim Webb and Bob Casey to vote so irresponsibly. That shows a fundamental lack of leadership, and based on that I will have a very hard time voting for someone who lacks such leadership skills.
I think the main problem I have with all these debates is that no one other than us hardcore people are watching them.
Is the green tie some kind of strategy? hidden meaning?
Edwards has the best ties.
And he just ripped Hillary.
Dennis goes after Hillary too.
Ohh…this could be fun.
Ok.Kucinich has broken the ice. Pull out of NAFTA.
She is pleasant when she smiles.
She should do that more instead of look like she’s scolding everyone.
Kucinich is pander-tastic!!! I was waiting for that.
No, Hill, you’re not my girl. Can we say Iraq War, bancruptcy bill, etc.?
Obama’s on thin ice……..
Uh….I think he pulled off the ice……but he’s being a bit wordy.
baby jesus is forced to drink adult beverages
Are $10 T shirts expensive or cheap? I think it is cheap.
AnnCoultersMoustache @ 37:
No one is responsible for the vote of a freshman or a veteran for that matter except for that member is question. What kind of government do you want where blocks control votes - a Republican one?
Adversary.
fuck nafta !
Keep your poison toothpaste!
baby jesus @ 48:
Sweet Baby Jesus. I’ll buy if you fly.
Biden’s having a good night.
Not that he has a chance.
Poison Toothpaste!!!!
can you see hillery haveing to eat shit from china?
Hillary should never raise her shrill voice.
Get out of China. The day they opened up China was a day that will live in infamy. Blame Nixon.
Dodd says we’d betta’ recognize
Poison Toys!!!!!
Kucinich is throwing elbows! Awesome!
Listen to Kicinich!!!
