1. I like Simon so far
But then he's the one speaking at the moment. He's talking about fighting. That's good.

Okay, next candidate...

4. I like him, too. Him and Dean are my two favorites. I really like that
Simon was able to build a "moderate" group within the party without going all batshit crazy like DLCers do.

7. I think they sound alot like each other
and I agree with Kerry that what we need is a modernizer and organizer, not necessarily a spokesperson.

I think I will be happy with either. Perhaps we will still get the help of one if the other gets put in. Cooperation would be nice.

Donnie Fowler is on now. I think my well was poisoned with him. At the moment, I'm not impressed. But then someone around here worked with him in Michigan, and said he was only available when it was time to take credit. I have a bad feeling on him therefore.

14. The 50-state strategy, money to state DNC organizations,
bottom-up philosophy, and more were Dean's from the outset. (I am not making this up.)

The others pounced on it. That's why they sound alike. It was the same way at the last one of these "debates."

Rosenberg is good and has a lot of experience though--therefore, he parrots Dean the least (he doesn't need to).

3. From what I've read Dean and Rosenberg stole the show.
Speculation being that Rosenberg might be looking to hook on as the number two guy at the DNC behind Dean.

He sounds like he's really hitting on Dean themes.

8. Upper right corner says Saturday
So... Saturday.

How about Dean AND Rosenberg.

Fowler said what, but not how. Not impressed.

10. Thanks! Watching!
Roemer is stealing Dean's lines again...$$$ to state parties, communities, etc....

While do they all parrot Dean's lines and think nobody will notice?

18. Should Dean win, Rosenberg will be right there with him--
should he choose to do so.

9. Do you have a direct link for the web?
I went to C-span.org and saw nothing about the debate.

15. Has Webb spoken yet?
He's the mayor who stood up to Heston in "Bowling for Columbine."

25. I didn't like what Webb said about the Condi issue
He seemed to be saying that African-Americans didn't understand the issues with Rice and saw it as a personal issue to vote against her. And therefore, if it came down to (he didn't say it but I will... RACE) issues, he wouldn't take a stand against a black candidate. I find that insulting to blacks-if people don't understand why Condi, black, white, red or green, was the wrong choice, then maybe someone needs to be chair that decides to EXPLAIN it to people.

27. I felt he could have done a lot better on that issue.
BTW, he's black too. If he becomes chairman, that's one thing I expect him to explain to other African Americans.

21. I was very impressed with David Leland
I'd never heard him speak before, but he sure sounds like a fighter! He hit on all the major topics of interest to liberals, and clearly stated his support for those ideals. It will be nice if an excellent fighter like this gets to lead the DNC.

23. Ugh, WTF is with all the yelling about?
and they said Dean was angry. Guess Frost, Roemer, Fowler and Leland think they should ape Dean by 'sounding passionate'. Leaves me cold. I like Simon, but let's face it, they're all trying, in one way or another, are channeling Howard.
The loudest applause is definitely for Dean. And he sounds passionate but natural. He's not yelling at the audience. He's talking with them.

32. Channeling Howard? Give Us All A Break. Dean Isn't The Font Of All
wisdom. It's really counterproductive to say that Dean is the only one who 'gets it', or the only one who is sincere, competent or even RIGHT for the job.

was excellent!

28. Frost says: "We are people of faith, we are religious, blah blah blah"
Why does he have to say something like that? And this after he said that we need to be more inclusive.

For that matter, why the fuck should the public be probing the private beliefs of a secular elected official? That is totally against the vision of the founding fathers, particularly Jefferson.

31. No, I missed it. I must have been too busy cringing.
Aside from my advocation of the separation of church and state, I was also raised under the notion that religion or lack thereof is a private matter. I especially become uncomfortable when people suddenly initiate conversation about one another's religion in a secular, professional setting.

I was stunned at how Kerry was able to allude to religious themes fairly subtly and eloquently; however, most others just come across as overly effusive, deliberately exploiting their God's name and implying inferiority of those who do not share their views.
