Keith Olberman will moderate as the Democrats debate before the AFL-CIO in Chicago. Will you watch and whom do you expect will prove the best debater on labor issues?
I've got to go with Biden, for obvious reasons.

I will be watching as I watch all of these debates from both parties (although I am a Republican).
I would have to agree with you. I expect Biden will do the best of the candidates in any debate, although he is likely to be overlooked and credit given to Hillary. Biden is, by far, the most experienced and knowledgeable of the lot. Not to mention the best speaker of the candidates.
Obama has really dropped the standard people expected of him, so it shouldn't be too hard for him to not mess it up again (in that it would be hard for him to screw up worse than he has been doing).
I expect Richardson to do the worst as usual. He is a very poor speaker, similar to Bush in that regard. He also seems to give little thought to the subject matter before hand and comes off looking uninformed.
On the issue of labor I would expect it will be a fight between Edwards and Biden for the most favorable to labor. Both are pretty well informed on this and take some stands that are beneficial to labor (although the illegal alien issue neither takes a good stand on). I am eager to hear from Democrats on the free trade/fair trade issue (this is a strong point for Dems), they just simply need to add closed borders! LOL.
Hillary will probably get the credit of win again, but I will watch with interest (we all need to be informed of how our future potential President stands on the issues...both of the Republican and Democratic candidates...no matter who we support).

I did not realize that the Democratic party was a weekly series put on by the liberal media. I am sure that they won't get any tough questions as usual. It is no wonder that they need to raise so much money. It is curious that the money goes right back into the liberal networks that are supporting them. It sure explains why they chose not to debate on Fox news. I won't watch a virtual debate that has the whole choir singing the same anti Bush rhetoric.

To watch people asked by MSNBC to watch the debate objectively ignore Biden again definitely not

Yes I will be watching... both rep and dem debates to see where everyone stands on the issues, although I'm pretty dead set on Ron Paul

Yes, I watch all of them, Republican as well as Democrats. How else can one make an informed decision? Certainly not by being selective of whom you listen to.

You know what? No I wont. Who the hell are they to decide not to invite Gravel? How are people supposed to make an educated choice about who to vote for if they dont let certain people talk?

Why should I waste my time watching Socialists and Marxists trying to fool themselves into believing U.S. citizens want them?

I will absolutely watch it.
I'm looking forward to watching our next president, whoever he (or she) may be.
