hey the debate is in south florida no matter how U look at it. it's wamr aint it? if you live in a big part of the country miami IS only a hop skip and jump or downthe road a piece from st. peterbsburg . is st pete as violent as they say?

For: Clifford, St Petersburg, Florida...

I checked my map, and St. Pete is only one inch from Miami... But in terms of how the Police treat the Black Youth there compared to where you are, there is a world of difference. The difference most noticed by the way the Black People of Miami, (more properly Overtown) also live in comparison to the Black People in St. Pete. This I know, having lived in both metropolitan areas, lived through the riot in May of 1980 in Miami where I drove a Metro Taxi and witnessed both the actions of the Power, and the Oppressed.

Let's cut the guy a little slack here. He has a point, and I think the politicians need to address it, not just offer perfunctory jaw-jacking to a real problem that affects the whole of our society. Anytime you think there is no concern, take a walk down 27th Avenue North some night. Thank you.

To AC Itizen, New Orleans
Please do your homework, Miami isn't near St. Petersburg. Miami is about 4 hours from the Tampa Bay area.

Hey CNN, are you going to ask the Republicans whether they "inhaled"?

Or is that just a question that you only want Barack Obama to address?

With the past history of race relations in St. Petersburg there should be a democratic debate in the area. The Republican canidates are bland and not willing to confront the "real" issues facing the average American citizen.

While in FL check in on this police activity that has adversely impacted the community. What do the candidates think of the allegations atttached?

I hope the next debate will be professional. I was mered to see how the Vegas debate was handled...Can we have some professionism please? This is not third world.

QUICK! Someone alert the Media! CNN really thinks THEY are the news now!
