The tough, anti-corporate questions were not tendered and too many secondary, social issues were emphasized and repeated, like race and homosexual stuff, while the major issues-Iraq war, economics (e.g., trade, single-payer healthcare and illegal immigration) were not given the coverage warranted. This is a consequence of major media timidity and bias that does not represent internet discussion. Mike Gravel hit Clinton and O'Bama with a couple of good zingers about their corporate ties/obligations. Let Mike attend all the debates--out of reaspect for his courage in bringing the Vietnam war to a halt. All the candidates looked pretty good, but I thought Edwards came out as the candidate with more real ideas than campaign speechifying. Good format.
