Who is going to tell the debate moderators to STFU?
What the hell kind of debate is this? The questions are bullshit and the moderators are arguing with them! Why can't they just ask the question and let them answer? I am about to blast a really nasty e-mail to these bastards.

4. Please blast them
The debate is only 90 minutes long and there are 9 candidates -- that means at best, yielding a minute to the moderators, each candidate can speak for 8 minutes. That's not a lot of time to help us make such a momentous decision.

I'm at work ... how's it going??

7. those 3 remind me of certain
academics - all theory and no practical life experience. and my hubby is a professor! but not anything like these fools, sitting there nodding their heads from side to side, trying to look intellectual or whatever the fuck that dumblook is. those idiotic fuckwads - good luck getting your words in, candidates

9. sucky questions
and non-great answers.

I'm afraid this debate will harm *all* the candidates, and the Dem party to boot.

10. i think it will only hurt
the dems, or continue to hurt the dems, among the media. these 3 have come in here with a condescending, holding their noses attitude, and we'll hear on their media how "irrelevant" the dems are. yawn. hope gore gets his liberal media outlet running stat!

Are we watching the same debates? I've been hearing great responses.
I'm glad to see the candidates showing some fire and energy...

14. Candidates always get stupid questions
from the media and the public. So they have to learn to answer them whatever way they are asked. Get off it, this is a good debate.
