It is not tolerated well by some people.

Obama to open office in Utah

SALT LAKE CITY - Presidential hopeful Barack Obama on Saturday will become the first Democratic candidate to open a campaign office in the conservative-leaning state of Utah.

Translation: He thinks Romney is going to be the Republican nominee?

"I bet that guy left scratching his head."

We refuse to miss Paula Dean.

Actually, he had one beer and gone. Thought we were crazy.

[Joisey]

Not so crazy about her, but we love Iron Chef.

Actually, the ability for our next president to teach conservative principles to the likes of YouTube Heads may be critical.

That's what I'm looking for, tonight.

I heard on FNC today that the youth vote - the 18 to 29 yo group - actually outnumbered the 65 and over crowd in the 2006 election...

that surprised me.

heads up

[pillut48]

Here we go!

[cripplecreek]

I’m in.

[advertising guy]

hardly..Dobbs called the NYT liars......I loved it

[Petronski]

A few quick points:

• In my humble opinion, the GOP should have refused this YouTube circus.
• What is this echo on CNN's Dobbs, or is it my TV?
• Who is Hank Sheinkopf? He seems a pretty straight shooter.
• Did CNN bench Blitzer after the scandal in Las Vegas?

Just a few thoughts.

2000 more guestions for the candidates than the Demmie debate a few weeks ago

[Chuck54]

Is this showbiz intro really necessary?

[GRRRRR]

“The questions tonight will be different in both style and substance”..

Yeah, right Cooper, the questions will be mean and nasty and not sycophantic droolers like the DNC posers...

[TomGuy]

Intro-ing the candidates one at a time.

It took 10+ minutes at the last Dem debate before CNN/Wolfie got around to asking the first question.

[jmyrlefuller]

OK, here goes:

Rudy Giuliani: “Were you involved in the orchestration of 9/11? Yes or yes?”
Mitt Romney: “Did RomneyCare go far enough?”
John McCain: “The war in Iraq is evil and illegal, why do you still support it?”
Fred Thompson: “So, when will you finally admit you’re a sex addict?”
Mike Huckabee: “Are you going to pick Jesus Christ as your Vice President?”
Tom Tancredo: “Why do you hate Mexicans and want to deny them American rights?”
Duncan Hunter: (crickets...)
Ron Paul: “Why do you bother to stay in the party of Bush?”
