Minnesota Debate (Where's Walter?) Now on C-SPAN

[William McKinley]

Tune in now. Coleman against two other candidates.

[KeatsforFirstDog]

Hmmm...interesting...Minnesota used to have 13 electoral votes?? now they have 10...

Fritzo must have run them all off...

I can't believe this Green Party candidate is wearing a sweater and jeans

[RabidBartender]

I can't believe his (Greenie) handlers put those buttons on him....

Ewww...and he just picked his nose.

[hellinahandcart]

Those matter-antimatter accidents are sure going to be fun.

[RabidBartender]

District of Columbia has 3 votes (if you're referring to Mondale's 13...)

[johniegrad]

Someone tell the Greenie that Native Americans did not invent hunting

I would but he's deaf.

[concerned about politics]

So Mondale will debate on election eve? Yah, sure he will. He'll be snowed in at some remote Minnesota airport that evening even if the temperature is 78 and holding.

Yep. They won't let him out of his room, even with his walker. Sympathy vote is what they have. That's it.

[Miss Marple]

Who is his consultant...Chief Engineer Scott from the Enterprise?

[William McKinley]

Coleman talking to Minnesotans now- develop alternate fuel technologies that Minnesotans can provide (ethanol, soy diesel, etc) but do so with an eye towards not making fueld so expensive that farmers can't afford trucking. Opposes ANWR.

I can't believe this Green Party candidate is wearing a sweater and jeans

I know - I'm not really sure he knows where he is!

[hellinahandcart]

Even Scotty would tell this guy he's full of it.

[RabidBartender]

Why does this moderator state Mondale's position? If he didn't show, his opinion shouldn't be represented!

[Keith]

oooh...nice reference to Mondale having had the SS debate with REagan in 84...nice work Norm.

[KeatsforFirstDog]

I'm telling ya...he's kicking butt...he knows the answers inside and out and they don't sound rehearsed

why is the questioner giving Mondale's position?? if he doesn't show, why give him free time?? it's a matter of respect...

[concerned about politics]

This guy is so far left it hurts. But liberals in Minnesota might like him better than the empty chair, if they're watching. He's speakin' their language.

Yep. Mondale had to resign from corporate seats to run in Mo. He's a man wrapped in big business.

[Damocles]

I think the fact that the moderator is having to READ Mondull's position on topics is looking REALLY bad for the Dems.

[William McKinley]

The moderator interviewed Mondale, and is reading his answer to some of the questions. I am biased, but to me this more than gives the impression that Mondale simply wanted to avoid the debate.

I think it actually hurts him more having the moderator say "I asked him earlier and he said this" than if he was simply ignored there.

[Spiff]

8:42pm EST - Just as Coleman began answering the question about the environment, the Green Party candidate, the blind guy in blue jeans, picked his nose, brought his hand down to his lap, and rolled the booger around in the fingers of his right hand. Ewwwwww. Darn it! I was hoping there was a good Green Party candidate to pull Dem votes away.

[Keith]

This will help Norm...if anyone in MN is watching.

[Miss Marple]

The moderator is taking the New Jersey position, that even if you withdraw your position should be represented.

I am surprised they didn't try to send a surrogate for Mondale to the debate. But then with the moderator, I guess they didn't have to.

[William McKinley]

ROFL- GMTA! I typed the same exact thought, at the same exact time as you :-D
