There was a debate on PBS, apparently, at Howard University. I didn't even know about it. But I'll post the videos as soon as I can find them.

*Gravel needs to die. He makes a mockery of the campaign process.

Strangelove Misunderstood Genius

Agreed. He is from the so-left-Dennis-Kucinich-looks-like-a-spec wing of the Democratic party.

A wing of one.

Get the hell out, dude.

32.5?? I read 31. Not that it's a huge difference....

EDIT: Nevermind, that was primary funds. My bad

And...that money was contributed by more than 250,000 voters. mall donations. Real people pushing for change because they actually believe in a candidate rather than in a party.

Also...why can't Edwards just fall flat on his face already and withdraw...leat the big dogs fight this one out?

Bill Richardson might surprise you. I think Obama will fade. What about Bloomberg as in independent?

the first official debate sanctioned by the DNC was tonight in Charleston, South Carolina. But more noteworthy is the fact that this is the first debate where the questions were solely from voters via YouTube. A very interesting debate indeed. I'll post the videos once I can find them.

These popped up rather quick, huh? Here are the videos...

The Democratic National Committee Rules and Bylaws Sucommittee voted to strip Florida of all of its delegates to the Convention next August, to punish the state party for moving their primary to Jan. 29th, which would create primary chaos.

I agree with the decision. Thoughts?
