    Democratic Debate Potpourri
    2008-02-27 00:19:06
    A sampling of reaction to tonight's Democratic debate in Ohio:Chuck Todd:The entire debate had a very tense feel--a combination of two very competitive Democratic candidates and two very tough questioners. Both candidates were put on the spot and survived. Overall, it's hard to see this debate as changing the trajectory of this race. It was a contentious debate, but civil and both will probably be better nominees for it.It's hard to pick a winner--Clinton was more prepared but Obama survived and that's probably the name of the game for him at this late date in the campaign.Chris Cillizza:Neither candidate scored a knockout or even a knockdown. That's probably good news for Obama, who came into the debate on a roll and simply wanted to make it through the night without breaking that momentum.Clinton dominated much of the debate--for good or bad. She repeatedly sought to take the fight to Obama over his campaign tactics, his commitment to universal health care, his alleged naivete on for...

With everyone but Hillary Clinton’s mother conceding that Barack Obama is going to be the Democratic presidential nominee, Clinton appears to have one final Hail Mary in her play book. Tonight is her last shot to convince the [...]...

    Mitt Romney Wins Michigan and Democratic Debate Coverage
    2008-01-16 00:15:22
    As many of you know, Mitt Romney has won the Michigan Primary. This is a big win for fiscal conservatives; it appears that Michiganders are tired of Big Government disasters. But, this also means that there is no leading Republican candidate. If Fred Thompson wins South Carolina and Rudy wins Florida, this could get even worse. With all that being said, I also would like to point out that... Click the Headline Link to Visit Copious Dissent and Read the Full Story. ...

    CNN YouTube Democratic Debate: Big Government at its Worst
    2007-07-24 07:01:00
    The CNN YouTube Democratic Debate was the typical liberal panderfest. It also oozed with total support for big government. While I could easily write a book about the absurdity that took place, this editorial may seem more like a stream of consciousness.For the first time, we really saw who the Democrats are. Anderson Cooper, in my opinion, did an excellent job forcing the liberal Democrats to expose their true intentions. He made sure that all the questions were answered and I commend him for that. Let us take some time to examine some of what was said.When asked whether any of the politicians would work for minimum wage, all the politicians said they would but Senator Dodd. So, if that is the case, maybe we do not need a minimum wage after all. This was pandering at its worst.Earlier in the “debate,” John Edwards, with Stalinist zeal, advocated taking the power away from corporations through the use of government force. The scary thing is that the audience applauded. Tha...

    Democratic Debate Roundup
    2007-06-04 22:54:00
    If you haven't read it yet, check out our analysis of last night's Democratic debate in New Hampshire. Now, let's take a look at the reactions from politicos and bloggers across the web.David Yepsen from the Des Moines Register:John Edwards, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were the winners of Sunday night’s debate among Democratic presidential candidates in New Hampshire. Edwards probably did himself the most good. That’s because national polls show him running in third place behind the other two so any time he scores well in a national debate with them, he’s in a position to gain more than Clinton or Obama who lead those polls.CNN.com:Although there was no consensus on the winner of Sunday night's Democratic presidential debate, CNN analysts were largely impressed with Sen. Joe Biden and disappointed with Gov. Bill Richardson.Biden was "on fire," Democratic strategist and CNN contributor Donna Brazile said. Brazile said Biden's answers set him apart from the other seven.Cr...

    Frontrunners Excel In Second Democratic Debate
    2007-06-04 20:13:00
    A mere glance at the position of the candidates on stage would reveal the clear the focus on the second Democratic debate that took place Sunday night in New Hampshire. The debate centered on the strong performances of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards, with the second and third tier candidates struggling to make an impact.All three gave impressive performances, but we're inclined to give our nod to John Edwards (ever so slightly) over the other top tier candidates. Running third nationally in what is shaping up to be a three horse race, Edwards should be pleased with his performance. He managed to accomplish what he set out to do in the first debate--show voters the distinctions between the top candidates. The former North Carolina senator was involved in one of the night's earliest and most memorable exchanges, criticizing his two chief rivals for their actions regarding the funding of the Iraq War. He complimented Clinton and Obama for eventually making the right vot...

    Second Democratic Debate
    2007-06-04 15:26:42
    I'm calling Hillary the winner in the traditional debating team sort of way. Obama comes in as first runner up.Boiling it down from CNN:Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, an early and outspoken opponent of the invasion who mounted an anti-war campaign in 2004, said the way to end the war was to cut off funding."The money's in the pipeline right now, enough to bring the troops home," he said. "Let's end the war, and let's make this a productive evening."But Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Delaware, said opponents of the war need to realize Democrats do not have the 67 votes needed to override a veto and force an end to the war."As long as there is a single troop in Iraq that I know if I take action by funding them, I increase the prospect they will live or not be injured, I cannot and will not vote no to fund them," said Biden, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.Former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel, who served in the Senate during the Vietnam War, said anyone who voted to authorize ...

    There was many differences between the candidates on dealing with Iraq, but besides that, they had very similar ideas.John Edwards was very interesting in this debate, he was very aggressive.

    Democratic Debate in Charleston SC
    2007-05-17 16:51:00
    Democrats to Hold Presidential Debate in Charleston in July CHARLESTON -- Haven’t caught presidential debate fever yet? You’ll get your chance this summer when Charleston hosts a nationally televised debate among the Democratic candidates vying for the White House. The sparing session is scheduled for July 23 and will be broadcast live on CNN. The debate, which is being cosponsored by the region’s newest major corporate citizen, Google, is the first such event being held in the port city in modern memory. It will also be the first debate to be hosted on Google’s YouTube. On Tuesday, Columbia played host to a Fox News debate featuring the Republican candidates for president, and two weeks ago, the full Democratic field came together for their first-in-the-South debate in Orangeburg. Although a venue has yet to be chosen for the event, political insiders said Tuesday morning, they believe the most likely location is the Galliard Municipal Auditorium. What&rsq...
