Posted by Catherine Morgan on November 16, 2007
Okay. Here is my video-recap for the CNN Democratic Debate in Nevada. If you missed it…find the highlights here.
CNN Debate Opening Salvo: Clinton vs Obama…
This is John Edwards discussing Hillary’s “Politics of Parsing”…
Obama hedges on driver’s licenses for illegal aliens…
Hillary sets the facts straight…
Barack Obama on bipartisanship…
John Edwards on Changing the corrupt system…
Here is Obama on healthcare…
Hillary strikes back…
Dennis Kucinich tells it like it is to Wolf Blitzer who never asks him a follow up question. Bring the troops home now, Kucinich Follows up on Pakistan…
Obama on Iraq…
John Edwards on Patriot Act and Torture…
Dennis Kucinich on The Patriot Act (he gets a pretty big round of applause at the end)…
Barack justifies a rational and forthright foreign policy that achieves security for Americans at the same time as standing up for human rights abroad…
John Edwards on rushing to war in Iran…
Barack pushes back on the need to not just approach problems rationally and intelligently, but also to have faith in America’s capability to come together and achieve great ends…
Edwards on the U.S. Trade Policy…
Kucinich on U.S. Trade Policy (gets applause)…
This was Barack Obama’s “gottcha moment” with Hillary on the possible “payroll tax” increase…
Edwards on Roe v Wade – “We need a Supreme Court Justice with courage”…
This was what I thought was the best moment of the debate…
During the Democratic Debate Christoper Jackson, a Iraq veteran who has served three tours of duty in said country asked the candidates about a possible invasion of Iran.
Jackson received a standing ovation from the crowd, then later got big applause for his answer to a question from CNN’s Suzanne Malveaux;
Malveaux: “Your mother, I spoke with her, your mom is so worried that you’re going to be called to duty again, but not to be deployed in Iraq, but rather Iran. Do you share her concern?”
Jackson: ” Yes I do and I feel that if we continue on the path we at that’s where we’re going to end up, in Iran. And that’s not what our troops need, our troops need to come home now.”
That’s it.

Lots of work to create this post, good job.
I thought most of the candidates were virtually shut out so Hillary could have more time. It appeared to me that the audience was stacked in her favor with all the boos toward Edwards and Obama.
Check out this post about how many minutes each candidate received.
