I’m in LA. Does it say it’s on KABC? That’s channel 7.

Lemme turn it on.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT

Each candidate hopes they’ll be the one who gets the question about Obama’s plan to invade Pakistan.

But they'll get... global-warming, decayed-infrastructure, Iraq withdrawal, domestic-spying, culture-of-corruption, Terry Schiavo...

Do you have a link to the streaming feed?

[AmericanInTokyo]

Any streaming audio ANYWHERE to be found, of this event, live? (I doubt it, due to copyright laws).

Just wondering.

Many overseas would like to tune in!

[mainepatsfan]

Don’t forget Scooter Libby.

[AfterManyASummer]

Anyone know if there’s a live feed of this debate anywhere? I don’t have a TV.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

You forgot these: What do you think about Hillary Clinton?What do you think about Hillary Clinton’s cleavage? How can global warming successfully be stopped? Exactly how bad is President Bush? Why do all of you have a problem with the gay lifestyle? Why do all of you have a problem with all minority groups? Why do all of you want to kill our troops instead of safely bringing them back home? What’s wrong with having Bill Clinton back at the White House? Why is the Republican Party so evil?

[econjack]

I think they should ask Shrillary the last question...

[padre35]

What a bizzare time to hold a debate and what a screwy format for a debate.

It won’t air in my area until 11:00 am.

[Son House]

Giving everybody’s poll number.

[Son House]

Robo-call(?) is on, first caller ‘abortion’.

[econjack]

How about: Do you think Hillary will ever wear something other than a pants suit?

(Answer: Only after she puts her ankles on a diet. Besides, she’s always worn the pants in the family, anyway.)

[mainepatsfan]

Of course.

[CounterCounterCulture]

For those watching live, give detailed accounts so that those with latter video feeds can follow along later.

Instead of “What a stupid answer,” explain what the candidate’s stupid answer was. That goes double for stupid questions. :-)

[johnny7]

It is Stephie... LMAO!

This'll be worse than Spitboy's, DNC talking-points debate.

Also... I just got a call from Iowa, the pre-debate rally is taking place right now, and the word is that Ron Paul's supporters are outnumbering the opponents 20-1... Go folks, make some noise!

Wow thanks so much for doing this!!

[AmericanInTokyo]

I (and I sense many others here on FR) personally want to hear a CLEAR, EMPHATIC, INCONTROVERTIBLE BREAK FROM THE PRESIDENT on a number of the BIG TICKET policy items. Shamnesty for Illegals, Big Government, Pandering to Islamics/Political Correctness.

Any Presidential Candidate this morning up there who cannot bring himself to do that, but instead just parrots the usual RNC Establishment line, or worse yet, tries to split hairs and talk out of two sides of his mouth, hasn't a hope or a prayer for THIS conservative's vote in the primaries next year.

Romney ‘tired of holier then thou’ that have been pro-life longer then him, says he is pro-life.
