1. these have been good

regardless of the candidate, Harkin andd the Iowa audiences ask some good questions.

2. Agreed

These have been great for the party in general. I've tried to catch all of them, even though I'm a Dean supporter.

3. Thanks Kephra streaming it now

Lost all respect and dropped all support for this man (and it broke my heart) when he appeared in the rose garden following Bush into war upon Iraq.

I would like to give him another chance. Only because being his constituant since I've been able to vote, I am aware of the many great things this man has done over his career as my congressman.

5. Good job for Gephardt...

Regardless of his chances he is sounding good. Speaking sence to many issues.

My favorite part though was one of the first off-mic comments after closing the meeting i can swear i heard him say- "...y'know, if WE did that?!? We'd be in jail!!!"

on edit: the quote is from a "personal" conversation in reply to a question or comment that was inaudible...
