Dem Debate Part 1

Infrastructure:

Joe Biden...big advocate for bridge repair. And the 9-11 Commission.

Will John Edwards ever answer the question he is fucking asked? He's got balls attacking lobbyist money at a union debate. Damn special interests.

I likey me some Kucinich.

Trade:

Clinton is for fair trade, but seemingly also in favor of freer trade.

Richardson panders...effectively.

Obama weakly answers.

Biden declares war on Mexico and Canada.

Dodd panders...less effectively.

Edwards goes after Clinton.

Kucinich knows he's at a union rally.

China:
Richardson goes for more of the same.

Obama does well with the deficit argument.

Clinton and Biden would like you to remember that they hate China. Wow, Hillary went pretty hardcore there.

Dodd, realizing what the people are applauding says more of the same.

Edwards wants to pretend that Hillary didn't already attack China.

Kucinich rocks!

Break:
So far Kucinich is kicking much ass. My checkbook is out, how much will the check be for?

Iraq:

Missed Richardson

This hypothetical is silly. "Let's just say everything we know is wrong, because it's possible that the 60% shit'te population might turn the country over to Al Queda, which has shown no inclination to be a political party, what would you do then?"

Obama got the best of the Obama-Dodd exchange.

Hillary got booed. Like it. I also like the fact that she said she doesn't like hypotheticals and, yet, she enthusiastically answered the previous hypothetical.

Break:
Is it me, or is Edwards getting nothing? This should be his crowd, but I don't think he's having much of an impact.
