Is anyone watching the dem debate on thinkprogress???

[Laura PourMeADrink]

It's streaming live - but it is just a canned video - no candidates yet?

[WyLoochka]

1. no candidates yet

I am getting a looping video with people talking about the pathetic state of health care.

15 minutes late in starting with the candidates so far

[WyLoochka]

2. Here we go

"begin in a few moments"

9. Anyone can submit questions to the candidates during the debate

just use the form at the site.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. could you get it up on thinkprogress? I had to launch the

exernal link and the reception sucks.

[Cameron27]

14. Yep, I didn't have any problem

[SharonRB]

16. I got it right on thinkprogress

It does sometimes go in and out, though and get a bit garbled. Edwards up now. Big applause.

[SharonRB]

10. Elizabeth Edwards is going to be there n/t

[SharonRB]

11. i wish the candidates would get started already

I have to get in the shower by 2:00 to get ready to go to a Karl Rove protest. He's going to be in town for a Republican dinner.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. Ah - nothing like a Rove protest. Our chant when he was here

was "We don't need no stinkin war machine, stinkin war machine."

to the tune of yellow submarine....

[Skidmore]

17. You're going to need a shower afterwards too.

[SharonRB]

18. You're probably right

:rofl:

[Cameron27]

15. John Edwards starts first

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. You can get a better picture and sound off the external link on thinkprogress

[Cameron27]

20. Thanks, just switched over.

Lots of interruptions on the embedded link.

[Cameron27]

21. I wonder if there is going to be an actual

debate between the candidates?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. good question - doesn't seem like it, does it? I stepped

way - did they ask Edwards a thinkprogress question?

I turned mine in to Chris Dodd and Kucinich. You?

[Cameron27]

23. Not yet, just questions from the audience.,

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. so that would mean they will have to get back together as a group

I don't like Richardson - but he's sounding pretty good - no sound bite stuff...

[Cameron27]

25. I don't know about his plan yet,

but Obama's going to be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to speaking, lol.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

26. he seems a little light weight. You know, when you know a

little about a topic - surface level - but not any real depth. I think Obama will be hurt in debates - great in speeches. You just can not learn everything in a short time like he is trying to do - but if he wants to win - he needs to do a hell of a lot of studying.

[Cameron27]

27. Yep, I think he might be hurting himself by coming to the debate

with just a vague outline of a plan.

[Cameron27]

28. Holy cow,

I had to turn down the volume -- Hillary's a wee bit loud.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. LOL - I went downstairs for a second and I heard it blasting !nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

30. gotta go - nice watching it with you. listening to hillary makes

me start liking her. She is a can do, intelligent person. (never thought I'd say that)

[helderheid]

31. KOOCH!!
