Debate on Monday???
Is Missouri going to have the debate that they are trying to get scheduled for Monday?

I doubt it, but it would be good if they had some kind of state forum or something, and carried it on ALL OF THEIR LOCAL NETWORKS in order to catch up.

That would be good for Edwards, because Kerry is being pushed onto people by the media. If they actually had a clue about the other candidates, then Kerry wouldn't be leading the way that he is.

One of the writers for the Dispatch was on CNN yesterday, and she was essentially saying that, "A LOT OF THE PEOPLE OF MISSOURI DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT THERE IS A PRIMARY ON TUESDAY."

And people have the audacity to think that Kerry is winning so big there, ACCORDING TO THE POLLS, because of who he is.

Get real.

The fact that so many people in the state are unaware of Missouri even having a primary lets me know all that I need to know.

They aren't paying attention to anything in the "SHOW ME STATE" so when Kerry is flashed in front of them, they just say, "OH, WELL, I'LL SUPPORT HIM HE'S DOING WELL."

Sigh...

1. I hate those silly debates. They had a forum in SC and it was much, much
better and gave each candidate TIME to make a clear, concise statement. The debates make all the candidates try to get in too much information in the tiny amount of time they are given and nobody comes off looking too good. Also, the public just doesn't get as much information or get to really "see" the candidates in a little more relaxed situation than the debates.

2. I hated the forum on yesterday
I liked the AARP forum last year much better.

Also, C-Span's debate was PERFECT!

If Missouri has a state sponsored debate, and C-Span airs it, it will be a much better debate than the ones done by MSNBC, FOX NEWS, and CNN.

Come on Missouri!!!

Don't let us down...
