Excellent. Is Gravel in this one? If so, I hope that somehow "Rock" is referenced.

Maybe it's the makeup, but Kucinich just doesn't look healthy.

Oh, and I like how Hillary was just talking about how liberal actually means promoting individual rights and smaller government, and then says she wouldn't call herself a liberal.

And here goes Gravel...

Clinton is really doing quite well, within the constrains of what we know she does.

Gravel seems to be bringing the crazy again.  Good show!

Biden needs to stop referring to himself in the third person.  And that was an awkward subject change.

Hey, he's gotta get his views in there somewhere. And geez - can anybody actually be on topic? Say the answer and then just stop.

Just throwing this out here, but it seems like the audience likes Obama, just a bit.

Picked up on that too huh?

Just a guess. Smiley

Loved the dramatic pause there.

“Would you allow us to be married… to each other?”

Yeah, that was one of the better made questions.

Who answered in the affirmative?

Kucinich seems to be the only one for full marriage.

Hillary's video reminded me - Chris Dodd's was good. He's had a very slick campaign, though his poll numbers don't show it.

Jesus.  Only 5% of the Senate supports same-sex marriage, IIRC.  It's pathetic.

IMO, the logical thing to do is take the government out of marriage. Civil unions for everyone. This is where Obama's answer made sense, leave it up to the individual denominations.

It kind of sucks for Gravel, getting one question. But hey, maybe if he answered the questions seriously, instead of attacking everyone and everything. I'm just waiting for him to jump in on someone else's question. Tongue

How is something an opportunity if you have to do it?

Biden seems sheepish about supporting No Child Left Behind.

And Gravel did have a great answer about his favorite teacher.

A carbon tax is the only way to switch away from fossil fuels? What about when they run out?

By which point it might be too late regarding global warming.

Well of course, but how great would this tax be? The Yankees go over the salary cap year after year, and pay a great deal of penalties for this, yet they still do it. (a bad example, but it's the best I can think of right now)

Did Edwards just call Hillary out on her fashion sense?

And yeah, Biden came off as really smug and rude.

"I don't like a d*mn thing about him."

Joe Biden could have been serious and no one would have blinked.

And I hope the Republicans have this "group hug" question. I want Rudy to say something positive about Ron Paul.
