"this pantsuit is asbestos tonight", dem debate vol. 1

hillary did not shake hands or even acknowledge the other candidates during introductions. wow. is it HATE, ego, script, low self-esteem, gender????

it was weird...in the pre-debate, Wolf Blitzer made a comment to the effect of "hopefully the internet can inspire these young people to vote"...y'know, i always really thought the candidates should inspire them...

1st question--from campbell brown, about clinton "parsing" answers, generally, and specifically about her answer to illegal aliens getting drivers' licenses.

"this pantsuit is asbestos tonight"--hillary

obama reiterates "drivers licenses".

hillary changes topic to health care, slams obama.

it's obama vs. hillary, TOTALLY. they're waving Wolf off, hillary supporters are trying to shout down obama from the rafters...

wolf brings edwards into the debate, edwards opens with 'none of us is perfect, even me'...powerful stuff, senator....

YOU CAN'T HIT A GIRL...

hillary arguing that pointing out policy differences amounts to "mudslinging", singles out edwards. doesn't rebut the charges, just attacks the messenger...

biden up...sounded good for a second...

edwards makes an effective speech, pandering to the victims of society...dismisses the picking on hillary charge...

dodd...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

richardson--"give peace a chance"...my god. pathetic. i like the guy, but ugh.....

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

obama says he understands immigrants "frustration". that was his first point. he went on to sound "tough" on the subject, but... he says he supports licenses for illegals, for "public safety". hold on, he DOESN'T support it now, gets boos...

edwards doesn't support it without "comprehensive immigration reform"

dodd strongly supports "comprehensive immigration reform", no to licenses

obama says the american people "desperately" want "comprehensive immigration reform", licenses are "not the issue"

kucinich wants to be overrun.

biden--"no"

TEACHERS, SCHOOLS

"merit pay?"...*crickets* from every candidate.
