The Candidates at Planned Parenthood Forum - Live Webcast on now.

The candidates taking questions.

Clark: Women at 18 should register for the draft. Interesting! :-)

This is an excellent forum, folks! Watch it if you can. Great questions, all of our candidates giving great answers, relaxed, lots of kidding between all of them. No attacks, Kerry in great form, getting lots of laughs...this is great stuff folks! The way it should be!

Update: They are answering and actually having fun! Complimenting each other. Great interaction with the audience. This is an incredibly informative and well run forum!

1. This is interesting

I came in as Dean was finishing the question that I believe was something like 'which woman do you admire' or something like that. Anyone catch his answer?

2. Great line from Kucinich!!

Question about First Lady...

"As a bachelor, I can only fantasize about my First Lady, maybe we can get Fox to run a contest!" LOL

Big laughter...

Dean: I can't top that one! You have to admit we're more interesting than the Republicans!"

4. That was really cute, the bachelor stuff...

:D :D :D

6. Cracked me up

"Maybe Fox may want to sponsor a show..."

14. A contest?

Cute joke, but he has thousands of contenders for the position among unattached female volunteers. I won't transcribe some of the speculations that come up in the corners of the room that are temporarily all-female. That he hasn't been mobbed and dragged off somewhere private is mainly because he's just plain too busy.

(As an attached person, I'll have to stand down--all I can offer is an invite to a polyamory potluck. Which I would do in a New York minute if he weren't the monogamous type.)

[sfecap]

5. I am hoping it will be archived. This is the best I've seen

from all of our candidates!

This really, really, rocks!!

7. Better than all the other debates

they are loose, cordial, fun.

[sfecap]

8. Yep!

Ain't this great? :-)

9. After all the vitriol, this is fantastic

Once again, I realize what a terrific group of candidates we have running for President.

[Castilleja]

10. Someone should be taking notes on how this is run.

This seems like it is a much more pleasant venue, maybe because it is run by women? :P

[sfecap]

11. I think you nailed it.

It's run by women! The world should have that for a couple of centuries. What a better place we'd have!

12. I'm sure this will get no coverage from the rightwing media....

I can see FAUX letting a Planned Parenthood candidate forum get any press, other than some hysterical "reporting" on the "pro-abortion" crowd.

13. At the end they mantioned CSpan

so watch for this to air, hopefully this weekend - it was excellent.

18. Interesting, Should learn how to spell Kucinich's name though

Said Dean and Clark were out of their league in this match-up.

All in all, though, I thought it was a great performance by them all and being short 3 helped keep the time. They needed a better camera operator. Whoever was doing it kept forgetting how freakishly tall Kerry was so would pan over to the very short Braun but would forget to pan down.

17. What a positive thread

Thanks sfecap and everyone who has particpated for such upbeat, positive posts. And wow! No bashing. Maybe we could try to do this more often? We DO have a great group of people running- it's nice to be reminded of that. :-)
