Issue roundup

Abortion - everyone but Dodd was OK  (He said he didn't regret voting for the not-so - secret right winger Justice Roberts).  No throw to Hillary was disappointing given the importance of the issue to women.  Obama did a good job on the big picture and Biden was the only one who took on Brian's theory that the American people support limits on abortion.

Guns - frankly, everyone was vague.  They should have talked about how the Republicans let the assault rifle ban lapse.

Edwards should have knocked this one out.  He didn't seem to have a focused message for the tax versus funding of healthcare issue.

Clinton used the opportunity to turn around Brian's attack on her popularity as a call for change on domestic issues. Effective.

Obama skirted the issue of funding of his priorities and instead made an effective case for more health care by using personal stories.

Clinton spoke with final authority on health care.  Can anyone really match her knowledge on this?

On these Domestic issues, everyone is playing nice with each other's ideas and experience.

so much for that!
Clinton much? :)
biden man is doing great edwards is trying to maker it a game though!
As an African American - I am so proud of Obama, but more proud of being a woman and being in Hillary's corner for so long. Americans (especially women) have a chance to bring a woman into the party. Men have screwed this country for so long - give a woman a chance to build on our issues.
Why is Sen. Gravel not allowed to participate?
Although Dodd said that he didn't regret voting for Justice Roberts, I found the rest of his answer much more powerful than any of the others. He brought his experience to the forefront, and displayed that there is much more to the issue of abortion than Roe v. Wade. I say kudos for that..
PLEASE!! Answer ONLY THE QUESTION...no elaborations! It turns me off when a person doesn't answer the question directly, usually in one sentence!! Also: Who is Pro Choice? (He gets MY vote!)
obama planted some trees and changed some light bulbs. Man, what a hero for the environment.
