80. bummer!

Democratic Presidential Debate
Sponsored by CNBC and the Wall Street Journal

Airs Thursday at 4PM on AM 820

WNYC brings you live coverage of the first debate to include newly announced candidate General Wesley Clark. The debate is sponsored by CNBC and the Wall Street Journal. Note: The debate can be heard on air only.

They only have it on their AM station, and they stream the FM. That sucks. I'm a WNYC AM 820 girl all the way.

If I find it streaming somewhere else I'll let you know.

[davidinalameda]

12. has everyone started picking on Dean yet

that's all they ever do anyway

j/k

[VolcanoJen]

21. My, his medals are BIG!

;-)

[JaneQPublic]

48. Dean should have come in a lab coat

with a stethascope around his neck. Of course then the group would start looking like The Village People.

[GBD4]

27. Clark

We got neither conservatism nor compassion with this Pres

[WilliamPitt]

28. Wow. Raise your hand if you think Clark's voice sounds eerily like

some guy named George?

*hand raised*

Except he said "Proud to be a Democrat."

:)

[MissB]

Coherent, complete sentences. Without pauses.

[meegbear]

asking the same with caveat to rolling back tax cut

[GBD4]

56. Graham

I will not support a dime for the profits of Halliburton

let Iraq's oil pay for the reconstruction

this is not a patriotic operation because of the way it's being financed

[CMT]

91. I think Graham if not nominated for president

would be a stellar VP candidate.

[Renew Deal]

57. Lieberman: Bush went to UN like a begger.

And was turned down.

[wyldwolf]

Call me idealistic but I am sick of war and hearing about how war isnt so bad and also this is my generation that was forced in to a Bush war. I have had many wars happen in my short life.

[VolcanoJen]

GO Johnny Edwards!!

"Our young men and women are involved in a shooting gallery over there."

"I will vote for what's necessary to support the troops, but we must find out how he plans to bring our allies in, what control he plans to give up to our allies, what is the long-term budget?"
