I’d like for them to ask the “then what?” question… seriously, then what?

Okay, why would CNN let in a question that frames “Obama” and “Hillary” as the main contendors? I hope the other guys take note of that and make a point about it…

BTW: Kucinich is rambling…

I think Gravel should choose Chuck Norris as his running mate for VP…

So far it is my humble opinion that Edwards is the only candidate who is making any sense on the issues.

Asked about reparations for Slavery, I think Edwards handled that well, the back of his kneck was bright red but I don’t think he dodged it.

I’m sorry, but what’s up with Gravel?

By: Gene

Gene — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 23:22:44 +0000

What? No questions about Iraq yet?

So is Obama black enough and Hillary woman enough to be president? What kind of question is that?

By: Gene

Gene — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 23:24:43 +0000

Gravel is kind of nutty, me-thinks…

By: Gene

Gene — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 23:26:03 +0000

I think that was the first time in history I’ve heard a candidate say “I don’t want your vote” but then again I wouldn’t want the “your not black or a woman” vote either..

I thought Barack Obama gave it right back to the questioners referenced his experience in trying to catch a cab ride in NYC when asked if he was “true” to his African American heritage.

We’re a rich, diverse country. Walk through a shopping mall today and couples represent the rainbow of the American melting pot.

The candidates wrap on gay marriage (or as well all like to think of it, full and equal rights under the law):
Kucinich = Yes
Dodd = No (but he still likes you)
Richardson = Yes (and some other stuff)
Edwards = No (but he will not deny you the right)
Obama = Yes
Hillary, Biden, Gravel = commercial break interruption, to bad…

You have to love Richardson though. Been there done that… hah.

Here here, aknowledging the servicemen & women who have lost their lives in Iraq.

By: RhondaJ

Good point. Richardson - in spite of Clinton’s representations - really has the greatest depth and breadth of experience among all the candidates.

By: Gene

Gene — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 23:52:00 +0000

Are the Democrats playing politics with the war in Iraq?

By: Gene

Though Gravel has a point, the only thing worse than soldiers dying in vain is more soldiers dying in vain…

So will the Islamist states take a woman president serious? Well we have Bush in office, how’s that working out for us?

By: Clayton

Clayton — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 00:02:33 +0000

Not to mention, at lease Hillary would “talk” to them…

By: Gene

Finally some questions on Education. No Child Left Behind, scrap it or keep it?

Biden= Scrap it
Richardson = Scrap it

By: Gene

Edwards has sent all his kids to public school and so did Clinton (at least until they were in the White House - excusable for sure) Obama’s go/went to private school… Biden’s went to private school, Kucinich’s daughter went to public school. Gravel mixed it up and sent his kids to all kinds of schools. Dodd’s daughter goes to public school.

Why no question from Jim Rex on this stuff?

NCLB was a public relations ploy on the part of the current administration. Scrap it and start over. Make it real this time.

Interesting way to play the sex education question, playing up the sexual abuse, so yes in that light how can the conservatives say no to sexual education in the elementary schools…

By: Gene

Gene — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 00:27:26 +0000

Not to mention NCLB is a total SNAFU situation… scrap the heck out that dinosaur… or can we talk about dinosaurs in public schools anymore?

By: Gene

Show of hands on who took a private charter plain; Clinton, Richardson, Edwards all did, and Gravel took the train?

By: Clayton

Yeah, nuclear power is cleaner and safer, except for the toxic waste and when they blow up…

By: RhondaJ

RhondaJ — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 00:49:36 +0000

I think Edwards was already in town so didn’t reallyneed to answer the question. Yeah, Gravel took the bus.

By: Gene

Gene — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 00:57:00 +0000

Interesting point, Bush/Clinton name could hold the office for 28 years…

By: Gene

Gene — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 01:00:46 +0000

Yep, i’ll mention that i’m afraid of all the religious “lip-service”… Why do most of these candidates fear not being a “good christian”…?

Tell me what you really think of the person on the left? This reminds me of a 1960’s T-group (therapy) question. Give your neighbor a hug.

By: Gene

Gene — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 01:05:46 +0000

Ending on a light note — Pretty much any of these candidates will be better than anything the Republicans can throw at us… even Gravel…
