Thanks for the ping.

Do you have a link to the streaming feed?

I couldn't find any.

Neither abcnews.com, Des Moines Register newspaper, nor the abc affiliate in Des Moines are streaming it.

Is it on C-span?

Nope, or at least not live.

[GOP_Raider]

Ditzy (my name for her, sorry I forgot what it was) from Grinnell, IA “What do you plan on doing to end the War in Iraq?”

Ron Paul: “Just come home.” Thunderous applause, I think some scattered boos.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Steffie: "Gentleman. All of you profess to be religious. Why aren't you in church today??"

".....??...uh...????....:

Steffie: "That's what I thought. More hypocrisy from the right."

"...........?.........."

Huckabee, stay and win, money used against us come from middle east, end dependance on foriegn ooiil,

excuse spelling, I am trying to type too fast.

[Son House]

Q lack of politcal progress to MCCain, yes their is progress, American national interest, We will be back if we lose. Moral is good, no date for surrender.

[tiredoflaundry]

This "debate" is not about finding out which Rep candidate is the best candidate for President, rather is is an exercise for the Dims to increase the hate for the Rep. party.

What a joke.

[TomGuy]

parrots the usual RNC Establishment line

The RNC, McCain, Graham, Kyl are flipflopping on amnesty worse than a flounder caught for Long John Silver's.

They have seen the light and are now pushing more for enforcement, per their PR releases.

I caution, read the fine print on any bill or amendment they try to put through during the next 18 months, however.

[Son House]

Julianne weak ness and appeasement shouldn’t be policy, NY times, ‘just might win in Iraq’. Bring stability to Iraq. No dem mention Islamic terrorism.

Which really sucks. The worst ABC station in the nation (WISN-Milwaukee) has chosen a second local hour of blather.

[Son House]

Rules of engagement, have got to be reviewed, un acceptable

[George W. Bush]

Duncan countered RP and made an argument for the Marines’ progress in Anbar. Crowd responded well to that. Huckabee is waffling in a middle position, pitching energy independence. Got applause. Senator Switchback now complaining about the dysfunctional Iraqi government, pitching the three-state solution.

[CounterCounterCulture]

BTW: The Democrats have their turn in this “format” in two weeks on August 19.

[TomGuy]

Tancredo: Rules of engagement are the problem.

We can win ANY battle on the ground.

[Or lose it in Washington, and that includes milquetoast leadership in the Oval Office.]

[steveegg]

The only “good” thing about being an hour behind is I know what pratfalls are going to happen :-)
