Kucinich is not my first choice

- though I will vote for him, of course, if he is the nominee.

But I think that the way he was ignored during this morning debate was outrageous.

I have not read any of the threads of the debate, yet, but are Rove's and Limpdick's opinion about our candidates merit that much precious debate time?

It was too bad that the first ones - I don't remember who they were - fell into the trap and earnestly tried to address Clinton's "negatives.."

It took a while until her turn came and her reply was on the money.

1. He did well

And I thought Gravel actually was the one who told the flat out truth.

I disagree on Hillary. She gave examples of fights she lost. The right wing has beat her up so badly, and her negatives prove they won, not her. I also think her answer on free/fair trade showed her plainly - she won't take a stand because she isn't going to change trade policy.

Most informative debate so far. Biden and Richardson did well too.

4. My reference to Clinton

was about Rove's comments when she said that, of course, Rove was not going to like her.

6. Yeah, that was good

She started really well, but I thought when she went off into specific fights that she ended up making her own case against herself. We'll see if anybody picks up on it though.

2. Yes, it was shameful right to the last question

what a scam to give Hillary the last word.

A moderator should make sure everyone gets equal time not try and steer peoples votes by cutting out those candidates the threaten their livelihood.

3. I agree...

I can't believe it isn't EQUAL time... so unfair.

Even at the event I went to last night in Iowa... When Hillary came she brought her own groupies! When she was done speaking they all disappeared with her. So I think people see that and just follow a long...I am hoping people WAKE up and see that behind all this commercialism there are issues that the money slingers aren't answering!

DK was AMAZING...he had the place on its feet!
Go DK!

5. that is why DK gets snubbed and why he deserves our votes

he is critical of the media monopoly that controls American news content. Never would a Kucinich Administration allowed the enactment of the 1996 Communications bill. And we need more of that kind of conviction. Only time so far Kucinich has been treated fair by a jouralist( if we dare call them that.) was Keith Obermann. Go figure.

8. Another win for Kucinich

Polls show the electronic media is as trusted as any other kind of huckster. If DK could present his case, the American people would endorse his reforms of our media.
