Wait a minute. Is this the same debate I saw? You know, last night at Soldier Field? The one Biden won?

Biden's Non-Answer
Biden didn't even come close to winning even without this gem of a response. Today on Countdown he told Keith he was frustrated with the others on the stage getting foreign policy so wrong and he hijacked the next questions to set the record strait. Right or wrong on that issue I don't like how he blew off that woman. He basically heaped praise on her and then ignored the meat of her question.

I don't think hes trying to get elected, did you see how he was running interference for Hillary? Maybe he wants to be VP or get a cabinet position out of it. To a lesser degree Dodd was doing the same thing.

Darcy's Ad
I like the ad and I hope she makes it this time.

Obama's Ad
I like it and I prefer him to most of the other people running.

Sorry Kip152, but Biden blew it on Tuesday. Jon, I think you clearly pointed out the insensitivity on Biden's part to not answer the woman's question. And he was rightly booed for it. During the debate, on and off, I read some of the comments on the Kos site. Just about everyone was furious with the triple-team combo of Biden-Dodd-Hillary. They have been in Washington for so long. They all gave Bush the power for war -- the most misguided foreign policy decision of our entire generation. At least Dodd apologized for that vote -- as did John Edwards.

Sheer greed is wrong but " if it is done with capitalism that is a good thing ".

So if we let people go bankrupt and become a nation of poor and uber rich, as long as it is capitalism. Letting health care bankrupt people is bad when sheer greed is causing it. But when capitolism (gone wild) causes it it is a good thing.

That is a very disturbing statement from Huckabee or anyone for that matter.

If you go bback and listen to all before Biden going off into another issue with floor time to speak.

He answered the lady.

He should have returned to her for futher resonse. That would have been appropriate. Like, Does that fully answer you question, Maam?
