I'm watching - and wondering if Biden is too.

[jillan]

If he is, he is having a coronary right now.

The first question is about loose nukes.

They are talking about Pakistan now.

[jillan]

1. Biden would be kicking ass right now.

Charlie Gibson is tough!

[1corona4u]

2. I'm not watching,

[ShariJH]

3. I'm watching and

I just left a message on the Biden site saying that if Joe is watching, he must be horrified by these nuclear weapon/Pakistan answers. OMG!! Even Charlie is like "WTF?"

[jillan]

4. They all are missing Joe right now, you can be sure.

Joe would answer, and they would say Joe is right, and make themselves look better.

[demommom]

10. I was on Joe's blog and read Shari/spost.

I just turned it on an there was Richardson babbling again.
Obama was saying he is already working on the nuclear threat from Pakistan.

[stlsaxman]

5. since they've all stolen Joes words i might as well listen to an old Biden speech, only when he

says those things it's not pandering.

[demommom]

13. You know......

My husband said in the beginning, that the other candidates would take Joe's ideas and words and use them as their own.

[KingOfLostSouls]

6. without Biden

it REALLY seems empty. not even joking

it really highlights how much better biden is than everyone else.

[jillan]

They even had a long thread about this in GD-P on Friday.

Everyone is missing Joe right now.

[ShariJH]

8. I totally agree

This is dull as dish water, and the answers stink.

[ShariJH]

7. If Joe is watching this..........

........it may be the first time that he wants a drink!

(I sure do, and I only have like one or two drinks a year...tonight might be the night!)

[jillan]

9. I'm not a drinker either - but Thursday nite that bottle of wine went down

pretty easy :(

[jillan]

11. Obama is really struggling with this question on healthcare.

[ShariJH]

12. Obama

always seems to stumble through these debates. Yet tomorrow the media will say how great he did.

[1corona4u]

15. Yep.

I don't need to watch it to know he bites.

[demommom]

17. yep, and Edwards and Obama are ganging up on Hillary.

[KingOfLostSouls]

14. I'm trying hard not to smash something

you don't realize how much you miss someone till they're gone


I bet theres a LOT of people who are watching this debate and just going, "HOLY SHIT WHAT DID I DO?!?!"

joe is REALLY missing right now. he wins every single fucking debate and still no one showed up.

people are going to regret this in the future, I just have this weird feeling of it....

[ShariJH]

16. Joe

is winning this debate, and he's not even there. That's how bad their "answers" are and how great he is.

[frogcycle]

68. ha!

I just posted in GDP that Joe is the hands-down winner, before coming here and seeing this thread.

[ShariJH]

18. Hillary

Blah Blah Blah yadda yadda yadda
I liked you as first lady, but I'm "over it".
It's time to move on.
Next!

[jillan]

21. hahaha - we both posted about Hillary at the same time, with 2

different observations :P

[jillan]

19. Hillary is kicking ass.

I can't believe I am liking her.

Edwards didn't answer the question, he bragged about coming in 2nd...

and richardson - here comes his resume'

[demommom]

22. Edwars is such a p...k!

[jillan]

24. a walking, talking, blinking one.

Are you watching?

[demommom]

29. Yes and getting angrier andmore frustuated!

[jillan]

32. I pray that Biden is no where near a tv tonite.

He would be so upset to see this, to see who people chose over him. I could just cry.

[jillan]

20. There goes Edwards - copying Joe once again.

[jillan]

23. Now Iraq!

I would love nothing more than to see Biden just show up - just walk right in and set the record straight.

[ShariJH]

25. Whoo Hoo!

I bet everyone watching would love that, too!
"Ok kids, move over and let me tell you the truth"
and of course he'd start with "Ladies and Gentlemen"....lol too cute!

Joe's such a rock star!

[jillan]

26. Biden would be talking about whack a mole right now :)

[KingOfLostSouls]

27. lil chucky is really pissing me off

this is the perfect time when joe would have been necessary.

he'd have bitchslapped chuck up and down the stage then listed off enough facts to knock him on his ass.

[jillan]

28. WHO is little chucky?

[KingOfLostSouls]

30. charles gibson

asshat moderator

corporate MSM media whore and shill.

god I wish joe was here to seriously slap the shit out of him.

[demommom]

33. Charlie.

Oh my God the Governor is at it again

[ShariJH]

31. Geez, I hope

that Biden reads these posts (and the ones on his campaign site) and sees how much support he had/has and how much devotion there is to him. I think some of these remarks would really make him howl with laughter. Gosh we all know him so well...lol

[jillan]

35. I hope he knows how much he is loved.

[demommom]

34. I kind of hope he isn't watching.

I hope he and Jill are curled up together somewhere quiet with no Tv, in front of a nice fire just catching up with one another.

[nyc 4 Biden]

43. i am so glad . . .

I didn't watch the debates. I'm getting pissed just listening about it. Is this country getting smarter or dumber?? After this debacle I'm not sure.

Biden '08!

[ShariJH]

36. Obama

Maybe Obama should run for president of ESPN since he's more interested in Football than watching what the Republicans have to say.

[elleng]

37. Not watching.

Richardson doing anything?

[ShariJH]

38. OMG

Richardson "I'm the only one here with foreign relations experience"
OMG......JOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEE Where are you?????????

[ShariJH]

40. AAAAK

Now Richardson is using the sacrifice re: energy line. That was Biden's plan!!

[jillan]

45. I caught that too.

[jillan]

41. I really hope Joe is not watching.

[demommom]

39. omg Scott just nailed Bill Richardson on energy.

Now he's babbling about the little things he did.

[jillan]

42. Tell me again how he beat Biden in Iowa?

puleeeeze!

[demommom]

53. I read somewhere, I can't remember where......

That Joe had more actual support than Richardson,but was able to get votes from others.

[jillan]

44. omg - I didn't know that! Edwards dad worked in a mill!

And got promoted to supervisor when Johnny was 1. Funny how he never mentions that.

[jillan]

46. I have to say this - that when Edwards talks about that girl with the liver transplant -

it is NO different than when the repugs talked about Terri Schiavo.

It makes me SICK!

[ShariJH]

47. I can't believe.......

that this clue-less bunch is who we have to choose from.

I want Biden! I want Dodd! :'(

[jillan]

49. Dodd - I hope he is not watching either.

He was my #2.

[ShariJH]

51. He was my

"dream team" VP for Biden.

[jillan]

52. Aw Charlie just said he missed Dodd.

[NCarolinawoman]

48. I'm lurking here reading everyone's comments.

Can't bring myself to watch. Particularly when they discuss foreign policy. Deer-in-the headlights-Richardson would REALLY get on my nerves tonight.

Has anybody injected a sense of humor, like our Joe would have?

[jillan]

54. very little humor.

It's a good debate tho. It's a sit and the table and talk kind of a debate.

Biden would be kickin' everyone's you know what.

[ShariJH]

55. kickin' their

"money maker"......

"literally, literally" (as Joe would say...lol)

[jillan]

56. absolutely, unequivocly....

Oh - I miss him. I loved listening to him talk.

[ShariJH]

50. Richardson

If Richardson says one more of Joe's ideas, I'm going through the TV set!
OMG...now he's talking about people doing public service (that was taken from Dodd!)
Oh, now he's combined Joe & Chris's ideas.....2 yrs education for service.

aaak...urgh

Now Chuck is talking about Dodd....."wish Dodd were here"
Shhhhhhhheeeezzzzz!

[jillan]

57. Richardson won't make it out of NH, imo.

[ShariJH]

58. Gravel

Now Richardson is saying what Gravel sort of said (in one of the other debates!!) re: the Democratic party used to be...

[ShariJH]

59. knock knock

Did anyone else notice the knock when Richardson talks? He's pounding on the table. Took the third time that he talked before I realized what "that noise" was! Thought someone was at my back door...lol

[ShariJH]

60. Obama

agrees with Hillary. He doesn't dare agree with Joe...none of them do!

[jillan]

61. He did say something about the other ones that are not here tonite.

Obama does have class.

[demommom]

65. OH? I guess I missed that.

[jillan]

66. He didn't mention them by names - he just called them the others.

[Cass]

62. His absence in this debate left a huge hole.

Those first questions were his forte. Made me really sad that he was not in this one.

[jillan]

63. I can't believe these are the people I have to choose from.

I kept hearing Joe's answers in my head.

But hey - we did it. We suffered through our first debate without the main man. sigh . . .

[Cass]

64. Me too...kept thinking of how he would answer.

At least we know he is in the Senate doing what he does best. We are lucky as a nation to have him on our side.

[jillan]

67. I think that is the only reason I am able to get through this.

We still have Biden. He is still there. We can still see him, still read about him. And there will still be lots to talk about.

[cbear70]

69. I couldn't watch

Just couldn't bring myself to admit its over...I do not like the leftovers .. I want Joe back.
