1. And, bringing up the direct question about UFO siting was not picking on DK?
Edited on Wed Oct-31-07 12:44 PM by Whoa_Nelly
The debate was interesting.
IMO, Russert is a horrible moderator for the debates. Seems to be more about his personal agenda.

I am still convinced that Edwards or Kucinich are the best choices so far.
(and I did go to see HRC last week when she came to our neck o'the woods here in rural CA)

6. EDWARDS AND KUCINICH
Are you kidding? Kucinich is a loon and could not keep the cuyahoga river from burning and edwards is a phony, 28,000 sq ft house, $400 hair cuts. But worse, he just promised free (FILL IN THE BLANK)
this is after saying in 2004 that if he and al were elected, people like Christopher Reeves would get out of those wheel chairs because of Gov't stem cell research. Edwards has profited from cowardly, profit driven home loan lenders and wants to help with poverty?

18. Bah. Don't feed them.
Dickless wonders with way too much time on their hands. So annoying. I mean, you don't see me going to free republic -- hell, I wouldn't be caught dead there. I just don't get the mentality that makes these troglodytes do these things.

15. Loon and phony?
Why do you think Kucinich is a "loon" except for your completely unsubstantiated, irrelevant remark about the cuyahoga river (sic).

And why do you think edwards (sic) is a phony? Mad because he made big money being a successful trial lawyer who defends people like our soldiers from pond scum military profiteering contractors building crappy products for our folks to use and die from? Or went after doctors who deliver babies, scheduling around their tee times? Do you have any freaking idea how much money it costs to be a trial lawyer? Do you have any idea how many times you pay for fighting the good fight and lose?

Do YOU know where every penny of your money is invested? And why are you bringing up this old news?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20321742/

"I will not have my family's money involved in these firms that are foreclosing on people in New Orleans," he told the Associated Press.

Edwards has reported $29.5 million in assets, millions of which are invested in the hedge fund Fortress Investment Group., a company that paid him nearly half a million dollars last year for consulting advice.

3. She did. But having said that, it will further prepare her for upcoming campaign.

5. Toughen up
If HRC can't handle a bit of roughing up from her ostensible allies, the MSM and rethuglicans will rip her apart like a pack of rabid hyenas if we have the misfortune of her capturing the nomination.

Most of her appeal to the public is her reputation as being tough, very tough. People want a leader who is 100% certain and able to shrug off criticism. It appears that last night was the first time that this carefully calculated thin veneer began to crack. She no longer appears very tough, i.e; invincible. According to her very own observed strategy, when you show weakness you are weak, HRC has weakened considerably. I don't think she will get the nomination.
