2008 Primaries Thread

deej, how has anything changed?

Bush and Defense approved the surge before the Dems acquired control.

??? what do you mean? deaths are way down. obama cited a specific example in which the political situation in the u.s. encouraged anbar tribes to start negotiating. i don't see why thats so hard to believe

(and? what does that have to do w/ what obama said)

Maybe I'm just remembering how much Kerry supposedly kicked ass in the 2004 debates and eventually had nothing to show for it afterward.

Kerry is a very proficient technical debater, but he's a poor communicator. I watched the 2004 GE debates with my (admittedly, v. Republican) in-laws. As poorly as Bush did, they nailed it: "Bush talks to the people; Kerry talks to the Senators."

is the rest of this 30 min long?

lol double team

This questioner is terrible, but he's pitching a total softball to HRC. And she's all over it.

Condi used "The Dem Congress might force us to pull out soon and you'll be on your own" as a stick in her talks with Sunni leaders.

u sad

That "you're likeable ENOUGH, Hillary" thing was weird.

UMMMMM i'd rather have a beer with hil than obama or edwards

adequately likeable

a bong with Obama?

haha
(xpost)

That "you're likeable ENOUGH, Hillary" thing was weird.

I wonder how that will play. It's consistent with Obama's current theme: Act like the frontrunner.

But again, HRC is totally hitting her themes.

That "you're likeable ENOUGH, Hillary" thing was weird.

was lol

35 years again. What happened in 1972? McGovern campaign.

"I'm the only one who faced down North Korea about troop remains."

It's weird for Richardson to tout his cred when his boss' wife is a few feet away.

"I'm the only one who just farted."

why?
genuine question, not argument

richardson's banging on the table is annoying as fuck

LOL at HRC smirking at the mention of Gore's name.

and that Gore allusion was TOTALLY gratuitous.

Is Bill Richardson going to cry?

UGH -- JFK was "one of our greatest presidents." Fuck you, fucktard.

Edwards: "We always picture our first day in the White House. I always imagined what would happen if John Kerry died."

Edwards and those damn mills

These questions--jeez. "If Obama wanted to marry your daughter..."

Edwards is so much better when he doesn't smirk (like now). But the nature of his message is going to energize some people and turn off a whole lot of people (sounds like pandering).

back to the barricades

Daniel, that was a generality.

why is edwards still talking unnnnnggghhh

Daniel, that was a generality.

What was?

OH SNAP

He's got to establish "mill" drinking-game viability... Patience...

I want Gibson as moderator in every debate.

Uh-oh. Obama got tagged by Gibson.

god these guys are so boring

I want Gibson as moderator in every debate.

^^^ This.

obama didnt like seeing edwards' monopoly on boring and meandering answers

it was an okay zing. he was too insider. "if they are standing up"?? i mean does he mean literally? that really didn't register with me.

hillary w/ the wrestling slam

disgusted obama ftw

HRC: "Reality break: We're all scumbags, okay?"

larded??

yeah shes still killing it here

obama should have brought up the coalition-building thing instead of another personal story

Hillary does great.

I want Gibson as moderator in every debate.

^^^ This.
