AFl-CIO Democratic Candidate Forum Open Thread

13559695-13559702-slarge.jpg  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.

Tell us what catches your eye…

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?

None of these candidates voted for the new FISA law. None of them are Majority Leader or Speaker.

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.

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.

I never thought I’d agree. I never thought I’d frown on more debates. It does get repetitious.

32
Bush Bites Says:

I’m agreeing with most of them…..but, what can you say, they’re pandering to the Unions.

33
Captain Kangaroo Says:

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!

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.

gimmeabreak Says:

I think the main problem I have with all these debates is that no one other than us hardcore people are watching them.

39
Bush Bites Says:

Is the green tie some kind of strategy? hidden meaning?

40
Bush Bites Says:

Edwards has the best ties.

And he just ripped Hillary.

41
Bush Bites Says:

Dennis goes after Hillary too.

Ohh…this could be fun.

42
Captain Kangaroo Says:

Ok.Kucinich has broken the ice. Pull out of NAFTA.

43
Bush Bites Says:

She is pleasant when she smiles.

She should do that more instead of look like she’s scolding everyone.

44
BlueKnuckle Says:

Kucinich is pander-tastic!!! I was waiting for that.

45
hope Says:

No, Hill, you’re not my girl. Can we say Iraq War, bancruptcy bill, etc.?

46
Bush Bites Says:

Obama’s on thin ice……..

47
Bush Bites Says:

Uh….I think he pulled off the ice……but he’s being a bit wordy.

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?
