Las Vegas Democratic Debate
 

Right now on CNN, they are hosting a Democratic debate (or as Dan Rather would call it, "joint appearance"). A funny moment just happened. After Chris Dodd answered a question, Wolf Blitzer called on John Roberts for the next question. Upset at not being called on to answer, Kucinich said, "hello, hello, hello." He was assured that he would eventually be able to talk.

The beginning of the debate was chippy and I suppose interesting if you're into bickering.

The rest has been pretty boring, vapid, and predictable. Blitzer keeps demanding 1 word answers to stupid questions like "human rights or security, need a one word answer; you have 5 seconds...go!"

yay American media

This debate could really use Mike Gravel calling out Hillary and Obama.

That was a stupid question considering the strict time considerations. Any thoughtful person would need a few minutes to give an answer. Obviously everyone is going to say they are for both, but in those instances were they may come into some conflict, tough decisions need to be made. That question would be much better in a sit-down interview format.

I'm so glad they're spending the entire debate focusing on the issues at hand and not Hillary's gender again. Oh wait...

Biden = winning, yes?

Re: Las Vegas Democratic Debate
 

I thought Obama and Hillary were going to start slap-fighting when they were talking about raising the cap on the social security tax.

BTW, Obama nailed her.

(figuratively speaking)

when does this end?

Re: Las Vegas Democratic Debate
 

Supposed to end at 10, I have no idea now. I still say Biden owned this debate.

Also, Kucinich got the quote of the debate so far when he was called on regarding voting against the Patriot Act.

Blitzer: "Mr. Kucinich, you are the only one on this stage that voted against the Patriot Act after 9/11..."

Kucinich: "That's because I read it."
