Lots of Fodder for Attacks at Dem Debate

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Weeks ago Clinton admitted she made “misspoke” while recounting a trip she took to Bosnia as First Lady in which she alleged she encountered sniper fire. Her former president husband Bill Clinton recently defended her story saying his wife was “exhausted” when she told the story, although she told it on multiple occasions.

Obama is winning with the popular vote and delegate counts, but has not secured enough delegates to win the Democratic nomination outright. Clinton has vowed to take the Democratic primaries to the convention in August. In the meantime Clinton surrogates have argued to the party’s superdelegates, who are expected to ultimately determine the Democratic nominee, that Clinton would be a better candidate to face-off against GOP presidential nominee John McCain in a general election.

Part of her argument relies on Obama’s relationship with his longtime friend and controversial pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who was exposed making anti-American and racist statements in videos sold by his church.

The debate will be held at Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center. ABC Anchors Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos will moderate.

ABC News is restricting other networks from airing video of the debate in the hours after it concludes. Other networks will only be permitted to air a single 30-second clip of the debate on their stations and websites in the hours between 11 p.m. Wednesday and 5 a.m. Thursday.

An ABC spokesman told the New York Times, “We have an obligation to our West Coast affiliates to not make chunks of the debate available until their viewers have had a chance to see them.”

Yea Rush is really doing a number on the dems lol.

The thing is, its to the point where if hillary gets the bid it will be a kick in the face to blacks since he was in the lead at this point in the game and could really tear the dems apart. If Obama gets the bid he has been outed in many things. Im surprised there are many people left voting for him to be honest.


Shells: Im glad to hear they did. I usually tune in to softball questions. good to hear.

Thanks,in part,to Rush Limbaugh and his 'Operation Chaos'for this campaign dragging on this long.They gave us McCain,we are giving them h@ll. At last, ABC has woken up and are doing what they should have done weeks ago.

Thanks to some direct questions Obama did not expect,he did not have his answers down pat and stumbled time after time.Had that 'deer in the headlight'look.

You are right...Jimmy Carter redux...
