The Democrats Debated

I expected it to be BOOOORing. It was actually quite lively and spirited -- definitely worth the watch. Crooks & Liars has some video here.

As usual I find myself most attracted to the fringe candidates -- the ones who got the least amount of attention of questions. Most of the media time was spent focused on Clinton, Obama, and Edwards. And I found myself irked on at least two or three occasions by something each of them said.

I'm still in the Kucinich camp for now. More at WaPo

A healthy portion of the debate was focused on Iraq, as well it should have been considering that 14 troops were killed over the weekend.

From Dennis Kucinich:

Just say, 'No money, the war is over.'
