7PM ? That´s 1am at night here... but I´ll watch it anyway. I even sent a question to MSNBC. Maybe i get picked, lol. It´s about development aid. Obama recently said he wants to double the amount of US developing aid, therefore I wanna see the positions of the other candidates on this issue. But we´ll see Wink

I'm going to bet $20 in Vegas that Biden offends some minority group with an off-the-cuff statement, Hillary mentions her husband at least 40 times, Dodd will be unmemorable by tomorrow, Edwards will exaggerate his southern accent, Gravel will play the white Al Sharpton, Kucinich will be blah, Obama will be pronounced the winner by the media, and Richardson will just talk and ramble on a whole bunch.

Kucinich will be fiery and entertaining but ultimately absurd. Otherwise, I agree.

Bolded is the only part i disagree on. From what I've seen Dodd is a very intelligent speaker and will leave an impression.

As we learned from Al Gore, intelligence is not always a good thing. I remember his line from his monologue when he hosted SNL.

"People told me my campaign had problems and that I was patronizing. You see, patronizing is where you explain things to people as if they are dumber than they really are." (laughter)

My guess on tonight's menu of events that the candidates will talk about:

War, Bush sucks, plans for Presidency, war, Bush sucks, economy, any of them: "People in America are poor!" war, Bush sucks, Kucinich: "Impeach the bastard!", civil rights, Hillary: "I'm the blackest candidate in this race!", war, Bush sucks, health care, Edwards: "Quality health care costs too much, more ambulance chasing will fix that.", war, Bush sucks, closing speeches.

The debate hasn't started yet, but the AP is already reporting on it in the past tense!:

Poor Dan Quayle.

The Bentsen clip and "potatoe" will be all he'll ever be remembered for.

First question: Obama sounds like John Edwards 2004.

I missed the first 5 minutes.  Did Biden speak first on Iraq?

This is now like the fourth time Clinton has gotten a chance to speak.  The first tier candidates are getting "rebuttals" when there's the slightest offhand reference made to them.

I'll post a generic scorecard after it is done.

I'm on a university message board as well, and a lot of people on there are loving Gravel so far.

Was Clinton the only one that did not raise their hand on having a gun ever?

Edit: Obama and Edwards also.
