Actually Karen (aka Laurinda), if the Democrats get in you better work on your Spanish and Mexican.

They had better stop attacking each other and save all that for those Republicans. If the Pubs get in, we will be in terrible shape. We might even have have to learn to speak Chinese and write it. I had a hard enough time trying to learn French, I could never master that.

Ron Paul is a Republican in name only. He's more of a Libertarian, and a friend of mine who's a Libertarian told me that he thinks Ron Paul will run as a Libertarian if he doesn't get the GOP nomination. That will split the conservative vote and ensure that a Democrat sits in the White House on Jan 20, 2009.

Which would be the best thing for this country.

Sorry Wayne, Ron Paul is a true conservative in the tradition of Barry Goldwater and is a representative of what the Republican party is supposed to be, unlike the big government, pro-war Republicans like Bush. Real Republicans don't steal freedom from the people, don't spend money like it's water and destroy the value of US currency, don't allow other entities like the UN and WTO to dictate anything to the US, and above all, don't sacrifice our civil liberties for any reason. Ron Paul is the only Republican in the whole bunch and although he has run as a Libertarian, he has said himself that he has no plan of running representing any other party. Frankly, I don't care what party he represents because he is one of the few candidates that actually has sensible ideas and isn't afraid to tell the truth and address the issues, rather than attack others and confuse the issues with doubletalk. I put Joe Biden, Dennis Kucinich, and Mike Gravel in the same category, but thanks to the media hounds of the top tier, these candidates can't get a fair shake and equal coverage.

Sorry, but money-hungry politicians like the leading candidates don't deserve our vote. It's time the people vote for the candidate, not the party, and vote their conscience instead of following the party line like sheep. When candidates get most of their money from special interests, lobbyists, big corporations, and unions, we know where their priorities are. That can be said of all the major candidates, especially the ones who loan their own campaigns millions of dollars because they can't raise enough on their own merits!

A Democrat would be the best thing for the country? That's exactly the kind of thinking that will keep this country in the mess that it's in. This country needs an independent voice who isn't afraid to stand up to their own party to speak the truth. Anybody who puts the party above the needs of America (and "national security" over human rights) doesn't deserve a single vote and that's what you'll get with Billery, Obama, and the rest.

By the way, there is candidate who focuses on the issues and that is Ron Paul, a Republican. Check him out, you won't be disappointed.

Great debate dems,, This is exactly how you lose the whitehouse again

I think Obama and Edwards seemed to do all the mud slinging.I liked Dodd he seemed to realize how distracting the negative comments are on the Democratic party.Hillary really came out the winner and she will most likely get my vote with her calm yet smart replies.
My husband is a Republican so Ive heard all the Hillary slams and its getting old.I SAY GO HILLARY

The moderators were worthless and the audience members were equally ignorant for booing on important policy differences and cheering on miniscule issues like diamond and pearls…Am glad these debates are over.

Of course the Democrats can't address the Republicans. They're too busy acting like Republicans and trying to focus on the party instead of the issues. They're so bent on getting a Democrat elected, they don't care who it is. They all said they would support anyone as long as it was a Democrat! What a joke.

Shame on you CNN! How could you loose control of the moderation of the debate and allow suppoters of some candidates to interupt the responses of candidates.

I listened to the narrative you set up before the show and you are trying to stick to it.

This was no different from a Jerry Springer show.

nd when she does say somethings she sounds like a Republican! She has supported Bush twice on Iraq, on Iran, voted twice for Patriot Act.. The list goes on. What does she have to offer Democrats, or this Country. Like Edwards said, "why would we replace a set of Republican Corporatists with a set of Democratic Corporatists??

No offense, but the democrats are the only party that actually has a chance right now of developing a plan for the future and uniting the country. The democrats are battling for the future or lack there of for the party. The Republican candidates aren't going to deal with issues so they focus on the only thing they can do, fight imaginary enemies. Clinton is the only democratic candidate who fits the bill of their stereotypes. Any of the other democrats will do fine. Minus Richardson, he's irritating.

what a worthless debate…

NO ONE performed well tonight…

The Democratic Party always attacks the Republican president but not the Republican candidates.
