They're doing well, I like what they have to say. Compared to the lunatics on the other team this one is not bad.

Its pretty dry but i like Gravel and the way he starts shiite. I think Obama so far has shown to be the best candidate.

Richardson didn't get as many questions to him as I'd liked. I'm curious to hear more from it.

Kucinich received a lot of airtime.. great comments were made by him as well. Definetely the most interesting, yet often the most ignored as well. All of his comments were well-said and very strongly accurate.

Clinton seems more interested in traditional democratic issues than much of a strong change in other ways.

Barack is most articulate and interesting to me. Very informed and well-spoken on issues.

Biden seemed to have been popular in the 'after the debate' monologue on one of the websites. He was also the only one to have voted for the 'more money to Iraq' recently when there is already a lot of money in the pipelines for that. He was most interested in military personnel welfare he said, however.

Edwards had quite a bit of air-time as well. He did well in my opinion.

Gravel had a lot of quips thrown in.. just your random comment about whatever trying to get soundbites.. didn't hear any solid ideas from him.. mostly just either critical comments or sound-bites of the obvious.

Agreed. Obama is, IMO, answering the best thus far. But, you have got to love the passion of Mike Gravel. haha.
