Here's a great clip from tonight's debate. Edwards was on point with all the questions he was asked. He answered them brilliantly. With less time given to him than some of the other candidates, I still think he won the debate.

for Edwards tonight. Laid it out straight.

3. Why Edwards co-sponsored Joe Lieberman's IWR, I'll never know.
Being he helped start the last war, I'm glad he's trying to stop the next.

4. Edwards gets it
voting for the Kyl/Lieberman resolution was a mistake -- you don't hand a bully a club and believe he won't use it. Edwards knows not to trust Bush/Cheney, Clinton still hasn't learned.

5. Welcome to DU edgery,
I feel our House and Senate had to know about PNAC and their plan for world domination through aggression. Anyone who voted yes to the IWR should not be our president.

7. Thanks for the welcome
I disagree with you though. I believe that learning and growing and taking responsibility for one's actions are very important aspects of a mature individual. I see that in Edwards; I don't see that in Clinton. I also believe that there are times for reconciliation and times for cleaning up the mess. That's why I support Edwards over Obama.

10. I would like to vote for someone who wasn't involved in making the mess.
"Sorry" doesn't cut it for me. We have too many really good democrates that should be in our "top three", namely, Kucinich, Biden and Dodd. The three of them did very good tonight. They didn't just tell us what they thought we wanted to hear.

11. Why is Kucinich afraid to confront Hillary?
Once again, Kucinich attacked Edwards - the most viable Progressive candidate and closest to him on the issues. I've lost respect for Kucinich and sorry I wasted my vote on him in 2004. Kucinich campaign helps Hillary.

13. I don’t think Kucinich is “afraid” to confront Hillary.
Every time he talks about the idiots who enable Bush, he’s talking about Hillary. Maybe Kucinich goes after Edwards because Edwards runs as if he’s a man of the people, -“son of a mill worker” (can’t get tired of that one).

Edwards is like Bush, Cheney, Giuliani and many other candidates who have connections with corporations or investment firms; we will never know for sure where Edwards allegiance lies.

Edwards leaving the senate and becoming a Senior Advisor to the Fortress Investment Group was a big turn off for me.

16. Kucinich flip flopped on abortion rights!
He was anti-choice before he began running for prez in 2003. NARAL nailed him on it - and he flip flopped real quick.

Kucinich campaign helps Hillary - by attacking Edwards who is closest to him on the issues.

And Kucinich has to know the Dems won't hold impeachment hearings while Bill is campaigning with Hillary. So his impeachment mantra is a ruse too.

19. Boy, zazzle, You made me love Dennis even more!!
To think, he’s a nice guy who’s against abortion (I don’t know many people who would say they’re pro-abortion). ....He’s against abortion, yet would never take away a woman’s right to choose. Sounds like a good democrat to me. ...On the other hand, using the term “flip-flopper” to take down a presidential candidate, sounds like a re:puke: to me.


Kucinich was criticized during his 2004 campaign for changing his stance on the issue of abortion. His explanation was "I've always worked to make abortions less necessary, through sex education and birth control. But the direction that Congress has taken, increasingly, is to make it impossible for women to be able to have an abortion if they need to protect their health. So when I saw the direction taken, it finally came to the point where I understood that women will not be truly free unless they have the right to choose"

8. he gave way too much time to Sen. Clinton
way too much. and wasn't in command in stopping people from droning on and on, like Richardson, and Clinton at times. Biden didn't get enough time. Edwards for once didn't get as much as normal, but he got what he deserved, I think Biden continues to hit home runs in these debates.

John showed very calm resolve, and answered all of his questions well. I really didn't appreciate the only true mudslinging (as Sen Clinton enjoyed throwing the phrase at John tonight) of the night about John being a "trial lawyer", as if he should be blamed for China's faulty products because of his vote allowing them in, when it's up to the president to the gov't to monitor them, and therefore declare, either through the president asking the Congress to act, or the Congress doing it directly, in punishing China.

I think when you point out talking one answer one minute, then saying something totally different, that's not mudslinging, but Hillary seems to think so, or is that because she lost 5 points to John in Iowa this past week and she has to try out the "mudslinging" charge on him since she's now trailing Obama & Edwards quite possibly in Iowa?

I would like John to speak in the next debate whenever that is, about why he's the person he is today (again, as I think he did it in a debate way back) since he's constantly attacked for being this 'populist' candidate that he wasn't, they say, in 04. I remember him being one of the favorites in '04 and driving young people to be interested in politics. This time, that mantle goes to Barack more so, but still, if he talked about working in the poverty center and seeing how bad millions of people have it in this country, A LOT MORE than he does, it would resonate in a debate.

GO JOHN!

9. I was an usher in 2004 for one of Edwards speeches. Let me tell you
Hillary may lose the black vote to him if he gets to speak to them. The hall was packed with black people, maybe moreso than white, and they loved him.
He was talking populist then, and he is now too.
I dont see that he has changed which they keep claiming.

And I dont see Hillary has changed. She's a globalist and a warmonger and so has Obama voted the same way she has.

Edwards, Biden and hope they can fit Kucinich in some place.

12. I agree with you 100%
Edwards did answer brilliantly! I personally thought the debate format sucked, and Wolfe was an idiot. What was up with the diamonds vs. pearls question? Bleck!

K&R!!

14. Of course, the whole declaration as a terrorist group...and proliferates of WMDs vote was...
Of course, the whole declaration as a terrorist group...and proliferates of WMDs vote was utter stupidity.

Here's an idea--if you really want to stop these fucking idiots from even more destruction of our security, economy, and constitution (and, what the hell, even take the fucking lead as a Democratic candidate)--then support the FUCKING IMPEACHMENT!

Otherwise what's the point, Emperor PissyPants will continue to piss all over Congress and the public by either vetoing, or if a veto is actually overridden, he'll simply sign another signing statement and continue to do whatever the fuck he wants.

I would like to vote for Edwards--what does he have to lose by speaking out for IMPEACHMENT?

17. Most Dems know -
Dems won't hold impeachment hearings while Bill is campaigning with Hillary. When will Kucinich get honest?
