This Special Is Not Going to Help Clinton
It is as staid as the Lawrence Welk show, and if you don't remember the Lawrence Welk Show, then you are too young to vote for Hillary.

5. I agree
I wanted to watch it but after 15 minutes I just couldnt take it any more. I think she will get something out of it but I dont think it will be much.

25. It's mostly preaching to the choir now
Most people have decided already. I doubt a Ross Perot-like TV special the day before the election will do much.

23. Thank God - SUBSTANCE
Not for Obama people, but for people who really want to know what her
platform is about.

11. So you'd rather me entertained than educated? That's sad
I thought this was an election, not some comedy hour or 70's variety special.

If you have a problem with the fact that issues are being discussed, well...should you really be voting?

12. No, It Isn't
For one thing, it is not listed on my DirecTV schedule. If you were planning on watching "A Season for Miracles" -- you are probably hoping for one right now.

For another thing, who in the world would search to find this unless you were already a Hillary supporter?

Oh, well, at least she isn't out talking to uncommitted voters, so it is probably a net plus for Obama.

40. Hula girls and Devo actually sound kinda good right about now
But seriously, go Hillary and I hope it's a great forum. I can't watch where I am.

14. Helps rally the base.
Skeptical that it's really going to motivate people who aren't already on board, but I think it will get committed folks energized.

I think she's warmed up since the (very) bad start - and ow! the theme music! I'd ditch the host, however. That aspect gives off a bad infomercial vibe.

17. Is this supposed to be a subliminal attack?
I don't think just geriatric types are watching. This has been well promoted. We'll see the demographics later.

24. I thought the bubbles were damned impressive on the Lawrence Welk show.
Plus not that many big-time celebs ever come from North Dakota, or Mars, or wherever he was from.

36. Yeah, specifics about policy is a turn off isn't it? She should just have said "hope"
and left the stage. That would have been so dormitory cool.

41. If your taste runs more to Teletubbies I can see how this might bore you.
Adults sometimes like things that seem boring.
