I’ll write up some thoughts on the Democratic debate tomorrow, but in the meantime what a fascinating proposal raised in Limerick at the latest PD meeting on Tuesday night. Those watching the death throes of the Progressive Democrats closely will have observed that although the head of the corpse appears to have given up the [...]

As it should be, Palin won. C-BS cooked up a similar poll of so-called uncommitted (people who usually don't vote anyway) after last week's democratic debate. The breakdown nearly 2-1 democrat respondent making the poll useless for anything except a headline. CNN's poll used a likewise breakdown. The quickness at which CNN posted their results - within ten minutes of the debate - proves they knew exactly...

Josh over at Raising Kaine shares his thoughts: Barack Obama is not a debater. He can give a speech, and he has mastery of issues and policy, but debates? No, not his strong suit. In fact, Barack Obama has the classic Democratic debate disease: he thinks debates are about issues. Al Gore and John Kerry both believed the same thing. Each, in his own way, rambled on about issue after issue, embracing...

Following the July 2007 Democratic debate during which Barack Obama said that as president he would meet with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea without precondition, Joe Biden told National Review 's Byron York that Obama's statement was "naive": Sen. Joseph Biden, who has emerged as the clear-eyed antiwar realist in the Democratic race, told National Review Online that...

On the one hand, I think this article is a triumph of inanity. One of Mr. Obama’s worst moments came in the first Democratic debate, in South Carolina in April 2007. The candidates were asked how they would respond to a new series of terrorist attacks. Mrs. Clinton gave a short answer, ending, “Let’s focus on those who have attacked us and do everything we can to destroy them.” But Mr. Obama gave...

An Associated Press writer wonders Which Obama will show up for presidential debates'It could be the tone-deaf debater who condescendingly told Hillary Rodham Clinton during a Democratic debate that she was "likable enough." Or perhaps the confident candidate who absorbed...

But only when he asked it of Obama . From an entry by the liberal media group Media Matters back during the Democrat primary debates. During the ABC News-Facebook Democratic debate, ABC News’ Charlie Gibson said that Sen. Barack Obama’s assertion that, as president, he would “press them [the Pakistani government] to do more to take on Al Qaeda in their territory,” and that “if they could not or would...

Three of four federal parties already in the leadership debate won't participate in it if Elizabeth May is allowed in. The Green Party has fulfilled all of the arbitrary requirements to participate in the debate, but the broadcast consortium responsible for organising them has allowed three parties to veto a decision that is not theirs to make.

No wonder his long directorship of the Annenberg Challenge was curiously missing from Barack Obama's official biography. During the April 16 2008 Democratic Debate ABC's George Stephanopoulous asked Obama why his campaign had said the candidate was "friendly" with terrorist and communist William Ayers. The candidate replied, "George, but this is an example of what I'm talking about. This is a

What I Said About Obama after the Democratic Debate of April 28, 2007: Barack Obama didn't make many missteps, to my relief. The pragmatist in me suspects that my first choice (barring Gore's entry, of course) , John Edwards, has very little chance of winning the nomination. The pragmatist in me suspects this is going to be a fight to the death, down to the wire, between Hillary Clinton and Barack...

How much longer can the media ignore this scandal? "When Obama's association with William Ayers was raised at a Democratic debate this year, Obama replied: "This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood. . . . He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis." Is that all he is Senator? "The ad factually states: "Obama's political career was launched in Ayers' home. And the two served together...

Sen. Joe Biden, in a South Carolina Democratic debate in 2007: "I don't have Barack Obama money either. My net worth is $70,000 to $150,000." The quote and video are making the rounds among Republicans trying to figure out how to take the populist Democratic ticket down a notch.
