Alright. How the hell was Conrad Burns ever elected? The audience is laughing at him.

 Stan Jones was wonderful comic relief. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard during a debate.

 I didn't think Tester was at his best, but Burns was his usual senile self. Another win for Tester.

Wow. I thought Tester was amazing. Jon Tester=serious business. I think this race is pretty much over tonight (if it wasn't already).

I just finished watching it.

Good lord, what kind of meds do they have Burns on? Most of the time it sounded as though even he himself did not know what he was trying to say. "The Patriot Act has not stripped you of a single right!...unless you are ----". Reminds me of the senile old men at the retirement home...thank god he is being done away with.

Tester was better, but I was rather disappointed in him. He kept telling the crowd to shut up which made him come off as stiff. I got his points, I just didn't think he was very stellar.

I loved Stan Jones though. This man is a freedom fighter...reminds me of Ross Perot in some ways. He was just flat out hilarious...but in a good way.

I watched the final 15 minutes or so. I was favorably impressed by Tester, I think he would be a good Senator. And I share the opinion that Burns looked senile - and he's not even that old, he's 71.

Stan Jones.... what a joke. I think if I had been one of the other candidates, after hearing his closing statement would have had a very difficult time not saying: Ohh.. you're definetely a loony one.
His closing statement about the North American Union was baseless - the new currency, etc... it did make me laugh out loud.

Are saying you don't believe we are being over taken by a global communist conspiracy?

yeah! let's start doing that. ... at least can we make them in different set of colors like the Mexican bills and not just boring green?.... ah, and also in polymer, like in Australia and Mexico, instead of paper.

The libertarian candidate seemed a lot more like a VERY liberal democrat..... Tester sounded like a liberal democrat.... Burns sounded like a moron......

I'm assuming you didn't hear the part where he insisted on eliminating the Department of Education and Federal Income Tax.

Outside of his conspricy theories stan jones was by far and away better than Burns. I mean a third party canidate with no expereince makin a fool out of you i agree with the person above who said how is burns is a senator. Stan should be proud of himself he won't win but if it was him verse burns you know he would, with out a doubt.

 My favorite Stan Jones moment was when he suggested that global wamring isn't that big a deal because it only affects the Northern Hemisphere. I guess we can all rest easy now.

..or when he insisted global warming was a good, natural thing that shouldn't be stopped.

Jones made Burns sound like an idiot.  Tester makes Burns look barely human.  Seriously what was the Montana GOP thinking?  He is sooooo bad.

I continue to be as impressed with John Tester as with any candidate this cycle.
