Excerpt:
"The Democratic debate will air live on CNN at 7 p.m. ET tonight."
"All the candidates -- except Hillary Clinton -- have to try to shake up this race," he said. "They need to say something that gets Democrats to look at them fresh and say, 'Well now isn't that interesting? I didn't know that about this candidate.'
(Read - They're going to try to out-kook each other.)
Fire up the popcorn!

Popcorn, Tums, alcohol, VCRs and DVRs, etc.
REMEMBER what these people say. ALL of them.
I missed the last freak show, but I’ll be sure to watch this one!
Someone keep tabs on how many times the pretty pony blinks his eyes when he speaks. Some say it is the body language of a liar.
I witnessed this in the 2004 VP debate...
I’m one of those people who goes to church on Sunday night. Will they have a later rerun?
Oh, and DON’T start any drinking games with these people. You’ll go broke and a lot of liquor stores are closed on Sundays. It’ll just frustrate you and run you out of booze.
(”All the candidates — except Hillary Clinton — have to try to shake up this race,” he said.”)
You mean Hillary won’t be in this debate? I will try to watch, but really have to push myself to stay tuned more than five minutes! Will most definitely have CSPAN on at 9:30 to hear Fred Thompson’s speech from last night in VA!
MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (CNN) -- What will New Hampshire voters be listening for when 18 presidential hopefuls square off Sunday and Tuesday in presidential debates? It depends on whom you ask, but on one issue, there is widespread agreement: People want to hear about Iraq.
---------------------------------
Who are the 10 new ones?
Marxist hedonism on parade.
here is a preview;
they will end “the war”.
they will make the “rich” pay their “fair share”.
they will institute “health care” for all.
they will confiscate the “immoral” profits of the “big” oil companies.
they will be compassionate and help illegal aliens to become legal.
the will make sure that all children have government sponsored head start.
they will eradicate hunger.
they will continue to fight poverty.
...and they will pay for it all by stealing hard-earned income. (isn’t that humorous?)
“Will most definitely have CSPAN on at 9:30 to hear Fred Thompson’s speech from last night in VA!”
Is that eastern time?
Is anyone really going to waste their tv viewing time to increase CNN’s ratings?
I know I’m not.
I don’t call it blinking...I call it fluttering and...as he does it he very carefully turns his head on so slightly. This should be GOOD!!!
Is Edwards going to tell us again how there is no such thing as a war on terror??
Freudian. Very Freudian.
OR maybe it is hilleree’s debate to SCREW UP. She could be so confident that she comes across like Al Gore did in the debate where he hopped off his stool to walk over to Bush.
Too early- but I’ll save my seat and BBL:)
Hmmm.. Which rat will promise that he/she can turn America into a weak, appeasing, Euro-socialist welfare state the fastest? The suspense is killing me.

Given yesterday’s headlines about the plot to blow up fuel lines at JFK, it should be interesting to ask John Edwards and his half of the Dem field that doesn’t believe the War on Terror exists whether they still believe that or not.
Possible typo? Maybe they mean 8 instead of 18. If there are 18 that'd be something to see!
You forgot about Global Warming. They will all present legislation to "reduce greenhouse gases." BTW, Did they stop trying to save social security?
Hillary bending over...thank God it’s just a cartoon.
I wonder if the Gerth/Van Natta book will come up. Hillary listened to illegally recorded conversations of perceived political enemies. She hired the infamous Anthony Pellicano to go after the women who had a story to tell. Will anyone dare ask her about that illegal activity?
“Will anyone dare ask her about that illegal activity?”
Is the Pope a Calvinist? :)
Universal, common good, Bush Tax Cuts, ...
I can just see it now: “A question to all of the Democratic candidates: Exactly how “evil” is the Bush administration?” Also, people, who will be asking the questions, will be pleading with the Democratic contenders to try to find out who will help them with their problems the most? “Besides talking about the ongoing War in Iraq, what will you also do to help successfully reverse man made global warming?”-It’s not a problem because it’s just a 100% sham made up by the politicians in order to make many people feel bad while the government also raises everyone’s taxes even more while also creating even more regulations and even more “red tape” at every level of government, you ignorant dope! And the mainstream media just lets it all slide because they won’t heavily criticise the Democrats. The ongoing and never ending mainstream media political bias drives me bonkers!
Anyone have suggestions for “drinking words?”
Bush
civil war
moral
middle class
George Allen was politically destroyed by one word — macaca. He profusely apologized. Hillary absolutely called Paul Fray an “f-ing Jew b*st*rd.”. She got away with it virtually unchallenged.
That would be the first 'Rat that opens its mouth.
Questions for:
Sen. Hillary Clinton:
— Were you at the caucus meeting where former Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., suggested that all Democratic senators read the full classified National Intelligence Estimate? Why didn’t you read it?
— If you were briefed on the classified intelligence, how can we trust you to make the right decision in the future with all the facts in front of you? And if you didn’t read the classified intelligence, how can we trust you to get all the facts in front of you?
— You’ve often talked about the importance of unions, but when you were on the board of Wal-Mart, you reportedly were silent while Wal-Mart actively and publicly opposed union organizing. How do you explain this contradiction?
— The Washington Post said that “[your] loyalists describe [you] as the least-known famous person in politics, by which they mean they do not believe people know the real Hillary Clinton. They hope to use town hall meetings, living room coffees and interactive Internet conversations to reintroduce her to voters.” However, you’ve hired an expert in “thought leadership,” and a corporate branding expert to confront potential “character issues.” Why did your campaign hire these consultants? What have you learned from them?
Former Sen. John Edwards:
— You had access to classified information, including the National Intelligence Estimate, during the days before the vote to go to war in Iraq. However, your campaign recently admitted that you did not read the NIE, one of the only documents that provided key caveats to the Bush administration’s justification for war. Why not? And do you wish that you had?
— You’ve now been running for president as long as you were in the Senate. Should Americans trust that you have the experience to be commander in chief?
— Over the past four years, you have collected approximately $580,000 in salary from three jobs—Fortress Investments, your poverty center and the Senate—where you often didn’t show up for work. You talk a lot about the importance of hard work and the work ethic your father instilled in you. Was it right for you to get paid so much for what amounted to very little work? Isn’t that the kind of inequality your campaign is fighting against?
— You’ve railed against offshore tax shelters but you’ve still got money in the Caymans through your investments in Fortress hedge fund. Will you divest yourself of those holdings?
Sen. Barack Obama:
— You rose to prominence as an anti-war candidate who opposed funding the operation in Iraq in your 2004 Senate primary race. But when you got to the Senate, you went underground, failing to speak out on the war for the first 18 or so months in office and voting to fund the war. Why did you wait until you became a presidential candidate to speak out about the war? Are you pandering to the left?
— Do you honestly think you can convince voters that there’s something new, different, better in the way you do politics when, since entering the Senate, you chose to conduct a real estate deal with a known—now indicted—Chicago criminal?
— You’ve promised universal health care but failed to include the one thing in your plan that experts across the board think is needed to ensure coverage for all—a coverage mandate. Isn’t it misleading to promise universal health care when leading academics have concluded that a mandate is needed to cover everyone?
— Your website says “We need to take steps to stop climate change.” If you believe this, why do you support liquid coal technology, which would worsen global warming?
For Gov. Bill Richardson:
— You’ve based your campaign on your resume. But recently, many aspects of your resume have been called into question—from the trivial, like your baseball career, to the more significant, like your claim to have brokered a peace deal in Darfur. Do these exaggerations undermine the rationale for your candidacy?
— As governor and representative from New Mexico, you’ve been a supporter of gun rights, including voting against background checks. But as a Democratic presidential candidate you’ve come out in favor of them. Are you moving away from your New Mexico record to appeal to the Democratic primary voter?
For Sen. Joe Biden:
— Your plan for Iraq would establish three separate self-governing regions. Wouldn’t this plan act as a prelude to a violent and uncontrollable breakup of that country?
— In 2006 you supported the Senate’s immigration reform bill “because it was the best option available.” You also recently said better border security, employer punishment and a guest worker program were important to the current immigration reform bill. What would a perfect bill look like?
For Sen. Chris Dodd:
— Why are you stalling on holding a hearing about the executive pay bill that would give shareholders more say on executive pay?
— While you have said you support rolling back the Bush tax cuts, you’ve also said the estate tax should be “moderated” or eliminated for some. How precisely should the estate tax be changed?
Most likely the photoshops will be R-rated or worse...
Cheers!
Live “red carpet” interviews with NH Dems attending the debate...

Do you really think it’ll be entertaining? I find all these people so boring. Droning on about universal health care, etc. Life’s too short. Then again, is Kucinich gonna be there?
For Republicans, one word cost us the Senate. (51-49, a few thousand votes out of several million cast). And the Shrillary gets away with her BS because of the D by her name.
“Do you really think it’ll be entertaining? I find all these people so boring. Droning on about universal health care, etc. Life’s too short. Then again, is Kucinich gonna be there?”
Sun Tzu:
It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.
That’s an inaccurate pic of Her Thighness. Not only is Old Crusty missing, but the thighs are way too small.
Wait a minute, he always looks that way.
Thompson speech is on CSPAN at 630p, 930p and 1230a tonight EDT. (should be FDT!)
Over here!
We are on CNN with LouDobbs but will turn to CSPAN when the comedy show begins.
The adult son who loves making political satire out of these events and who loves politics is laughing so hard in anticipation that I hope he will be calm enough to watch/listen.
True that, but he’s looking worse than usual.
I wish you were asking the questions tonight. Who is BTW?
'Tis why I'll be live-blogging this rather than spending all my time here. I do have the popcorn and New Glarus Spotted Cow (I would've done Labatt Maximum Ice, but the drinking game rules would've laid me flat about 10 minutes in).
