One debate question

Here's one question from the CNN/YouTube debate. Somehow, the question never really got answered. From the debate transcript, here are the answers: EDWARDS: I think Reverend Longcrier asks a very important question, which is whether fundamentally -- whether it's right for any of our faith beliefs to be imposed on the American people when we're … Continue reading One debate question

Debate winners and losers

I thought it was my imagination that Barack Obama got more face time than anyone in the debate but I guess not. Thanks to Chris Dodd's campaign, we have the Talk Clock. Even though Obama got more time, I think Hillary Clinton won another debate. Richardson did the best that I've seen him. He was … Continue reading Debate winners and losers
