or will you put the blinders on and only listen to the candidate you have already decided to back? This is the first opportunity to take a look at where the candidates stand with only a 60 second time limit to answer, the rhetoric will be cut to a minumum and they will have to answer the questions we want to see the answers to. let me know your thoughts..

Really looking forward to it. Have a crowd coming over to watch it as well :). I support Hillary, but I listen to them all, with as open a mind as possible. I'll be doing the same for the Republican debate on MSNBC on May 3rd. I eat this stuff up with a spoon.

EVERYONE should watch these debates...dems, repubs, right and left wing, red and blue whatever.... This environment is the only time when you can actually hear "from the horses mouth" how candidates feel about the issues and what their plans are.
If you don't watch, then you are an irresponsible citizen who will be uninformed and more likely to vote based on looks or name or party. It is your obligation as a citizen of our country to make yourself knowledgable about all aspects of the candidates and the issues before you go to the voters booth.
Problem is, the dummies, the uneducated, the young, the semiliterates won't watch - they wouldn't understand most of what is being said anyway... That won't stop them from mouthing off with their (uneducated) opinion, however, and pulling any old lever they feel like pulling on election day.

The whole Democratic party is to Liberal for me.
And the Republican party is no longer Conservative.
I want the Government that our founding fathers envisioned and the one that made this country great.
Socialism is not working in France, why in the world would we want it here?
Peace!

I don't particularly care for any of the prez. candidates - dem or rep (especially not rep).
Barack Obama is good - but I would be really surprised to see this country actually elect a black man to the highest office.
I don't like Hillary (though I would probably vote for her if the repubs' run any of the sacks of sh** they've got up there so far.
I'm hoping wesley clark gets it.

It is far too soon to begin to think about this. Lets worry about getting the situation in Iraq fixed first.

I have no idea who is going to get my vote. I can only tell you who won't at this point. Anyone still supporting the Iraq conflict is out for me. I will also not vote for anyone supporting amnesty for illegals.
