First, let me applaud Wolf. The Canis Lupus employed the format well, ensuring that there were opportunities for clash on a number of issues. I think we saw why Fox and CNN have audiences measured in multiples of MSNBC’s. CNN and Fox are simply far more prepared for significant news events.
Biden seemed the most mature and realistic. He sounded smart and well grounded. Joe balanced his run to the hard left with at least an attempt to utilize real facts as a basis for his beliefs. He’s kind of like our Mike Huckabee, only not nearly as cute, in that he looks great in these debates but hasn’t yet obtained any major traction in the polls.
Edwards reached for the hard left and the hard left control Iowa and New Hampshire. The MoveOn crowd will be unable to forgive Biden’s vote on war funding, and he refused to apologize for it. Edwards hit every left wing hot button, AIDS, genocide, homosexual rights, etc…. Every kind of victim was highlighted in Edwards’s presentation and that is exactly what his target audience desires. I think he solidified his lead in Iowa and is stepping forward in New Hampshire. However, he has no chance in South Carolina. Look for Biden to gain down south. In doing so Edwards provided us with a hell of a lot of TV material should pigs fly and John Edwards be the Democrat nominee.
Evita did nothing to hurt herself. She was manly in the defense of her vote to go to war in Iraq. There is something about her that is just so harsh and lacking in personality that she seems lacking in humanity. Maybe it’s the glares, the looks of pure annoyance and the uncontrollable interruptions when it isn’t her turn to speak. The left wing crazies found nothing in Evita’s presentation tonight that would make them leave Edwards. However her nonsense about “I didn’t read the NIE”, “I didn’t know Bush would really go to war” makes her seem shallow and indecisive, which helps BHO. How could such a brilliant mind have been so outsmarted by a dullard from Texas? I don’t think she gained or lost support tonight.
B. Hussein Obama also mostly marked time tonight, which isn’t what you need when you’re in second place. Obama usually just echoed Evita, including treating her with an entirely unnecessary degree of deference. Obama seems to lack policy debate polish. BHO doesn’t track hard enough to the left and he frequently deviated from Edwards, which actually hurts him in Iowa and New Hampshire. However, BHO could win South Carolina and some other large southern states where black voters are disproportionately represented in the Democrat primary and where is more conservative social views will distinguish him from hard secularists like Edwards and Evita. This guy is young and might get their nomination. We’ll need to do more than satire his name if he does.
Richardson is becoming tragic. This guy has been a good diplomat, one those envoys that Hillary said she’d use that W hasn’t-except of course that W sent Richardson to North Korea twice and Sudan once. Richardson was a centrist congressman and has been a centrist governor. Watching him lurch left is so unnatural that he just looks foolish. Boycott the UN if they fail to support US policy in the Sudan? By the way, has he been the governor of New Mexico? I wish he’d just get out of the race so W can send him back to Sudan to tell them that W’s big Texas boot is getting ready to come down on their little genocidal cess pool. Tonight might have been the death blow for Bill.
Chris Dodd? What can be said? He rarely answers a question, and frequently digresses into the hinterlands of reason. I can only imagine John Kerry and Chris Dodd discussing who should cater the Ted Kennedy First 24 Hours of Sobriety Roast, the double speak would make a conversation for the ages would it not, with neither participant having a clue as to what they decided.
Senator “Mike” Gravel is certainly the most honest and least wiley of the Democrat gang. He’s kind of a remnant. The only guy old enough to remember the heady days when Democrats defunded the war in Vietnam as set the stage for the Vietnamese and Cambodian genocide and the Cuban occupation of so many Central American and African countries (at least that’s what the Cubans say). You’ve got to love this guy.
Dennis Kucinich is truly and genuinely and quite literally either a Jihadi plant, which I doubt, or the most naïve person in politics, of which I am almost certain, on planet earth. Kucinich is sincere………………..sadly.
These guys give me confidence that 2008 won’t be all that bad after all.

Ted,
Well said.
Don,

You had good numbers tonight Sporer. What did you have, a 1000 hits for the Democrat debate coverage? Tuesday night should be pretty big for you.
i love how the republicans continue to say, 'we need to do more than satire obama's name in order to beat him.' and then continue to do it.
keep it up. it just makes independents like myself more and more frustrated with the last six years.
" We’ll need to do more than satire his name if he does."
Ha! You call it "satire" to use Obama's middle name when no one else does? I call it Culture Warfare. You want to point out his name so as to associate him with Muslims. You see that as a negative association. You are a divider.
Without name-calling, this website loses its raison d'etre. Good luck.
And what's with calling Hillary "Evita"? What association is that supposed to invoke? Sheer stardom? or something sinister?
Having missed the debate (yawn) due to time zone issues in Iraq combined with my complete distate for subversives I have no idea what was said. That being said, I am curious did any of the "Cut and Run" Presidential Candidates mention anything about the last two terrorist plots thwarted by agencies they tried to shut down?
Trying to blow up a city by igniting a jet fuel line makes as much sense as trying to bring down a building with a dry ice bomb (dry ice in a sealed pop bottle). The "terrorist plot" was a bunch of kooks who didn't know what the hell they were doing - but fortunately got caught before they tried anything. Trying to make this into a bigger deal than it is for political gain is pretty weak.
The FRENCH are making the Repblicans look weak.
