Most Blatantly Biased Debate I've Seen Thus Far

I don't know whether or not the debate seemed anti-Democrat or anti-Change (pretty much against Edwards and Obama). But there were obviously some people with targets on their back going into this. Just for the record, I HATE debates where the Moderator argues with the debators. That's counter-productive in my mind and exposed itself when the two mods went after Obama and Edwards TWICE. Once because they believe in change, again when they went after Clinton.

2. I agree. The debaters should argue with one another, not the moderator argue with anyone. nt

4. I think the whole "Change" thing has gotten overplayed.

It's become a cliche. I don't think it was "anti-Change," but rather an effort to pinpoint exactly what's meant by that in concrete terms.

8. They all use it, they all mean it.

As Obama said, they'd all make change from where things are now with BushCo.

5. Well, as long as we have

the corporatemediawhores ..there will be manipulations from their last fetid breath.

And you can bet your sweet bippy that they don't want any fookin' change except the kind that hillary's been doing for "35 years".

6. He did the same thing with the Republicans.

I thought it was a huge improvement from the earlier debates.

9. I like when moderators challenge candidates. Otherwise it's just a bullshit session.
