I think all the Democratic canidates did a fine job in showing why we shouldn't vote for them. They are largely clueless (yes, I laughed when Biden scolded Richardson for not understanding the timeline REQUIRED to pull out U.S. troops), and the only messenger on the stage who was for true change (other than Kucinich, who is living in socialist utopia in his mind, which Cooper chided at the end of the night with the last question) was Mike Gravel, who of course, was denied equal time or a fair shake by the hosts of the debate.

I couldn't vote democrat, but if I was forced to (fat chance) I would vote for Gravel, as VP under Ron Paul.

I think the questions, were a mixed bag. I liked the format idea, but it was clear the questions were still picked by the "sponsors" and CNN.
There were many good questions, but much wasted time on bad questions, unrelated follow-ups, and still a large amount of "answer" dodging.

The fact is, these people have made lying such a huge part of American politics, you could have them debate for 16 hours a day 4 days a week from now until the election, and you still wouldn't see much truth getting out of their lips. (with exception to Gravel, who thoroughly embarassed Obama on his "contributions", regardless of who wrote the bill to put that information out there).

Schams, Scheisters and Sell-Outs..... another great bi-partisan election framed by big-media and the bi-partisan monopoly.
I was also dissapointed in the questions but they were better then most of the answers. When they were promoting the debate CNN aired some of the kinds of video questions that had been submitted and those were more interesting then the ones presented. And I did not hear any answers about how to reduce collage funds for poorer or middle class people, which was the number one question on the minds of U-Tube members. None the less, the Democrats must win in order to bring change and to bring closure to all the bad stuff Bush did under the Repubican banner. ( Assuming that a 3rd party has as much a chance of winning as a snowman surviving Global Warming).
