Democrats Debate in New Hampshire (and on CNN)

30 minutes in: My first thoughts on the debate (which is so far mostly about Iraq) - Biden and Obama are very good, Hillary is very smooth (if not entirely convincing on her Iraq vote - which she probably is talking too much about as all that defensiveness just means we hear more about it), Edwards is rather petty and rather too much an attack dog, Kucinich is sniveling, and poor Chris Dodd is being ignored.

8:15: Oy - Kucinich is trying to make my head explode. His response to what we should do to rebuild the military is ... to use the military for peace-keeping operations (that'll thrill the military) and to cut the defense budget. Obama is (obviously) much better.

WOW - Kucinich just said he wouldn't take out Osama bin Laden with a Hellfire if he had the opportunity! Obama says he would kill him (duh).

Wolf is repeatedly asking ridiculous hypotheticals that seem like 24 scripts. And the reporter who's insisting on telling us little facts about the people from New Hampshire who are asking the questions ... can someone please shut her up? None of us care who these random people are.
