Fox will air the debate if it happens. Please ping interested parties?

[Mo1]

Mondale at times seems to have a hard time remembering the DNC talking points

[nutmeg]

One question: Why is there no "Democratic" party in MN... only the "Democratic-Farmer-Laborer" (DFL) party? Thanks to any FReepers who can answer this question.

[Catspaw]

I can only listen, not watch. AND I have to leave at 11 to pick up my now fixed computer & won't get back to FR until at least 1.

I'm going to sulk.

[KsSunflower]

Mondale says he will go to Washington as an independent...who is he trying to fool. He's as partisan as it gets!

[maryz]

Anyone know if Mondale has any health problems? I don't recall anyone in the media even raising the question.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Yikes! Coleman wants trade with Cuba. Doesn't want ANWAR drilling????

I picked up on that too. How about Bush owing Coleman big time!!!

Excuse me, but it's COLEMAN who is going to owe BUSH!!!

[YaYa123]

Obvious MOndale is trying to run down the clock with long answers....so long in fact, that he stumbles and sounds sort of like he's struggling for words.

Coleman is direct, concise.

[Wphile]

She loves what he did for Philly? I thought Philly had some of the worst schools in the country. Glad to see she isn't voting for him.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Did you really have to go and mention Ann Lewis (who as most people know is Barney Frank's sister)? Small children could be listening, or even watching:

[rintense]

Spot on! AN dnow he's saying HE'S independent and hasn't accepted special interest money. Well DUH! You've been a candidate for 5 days you idiot! If Coleman was hand picked by the President, Mondale was hand picked by the DNC!

Oooh... Coleman bringing up terrorism insurance bill. Will he stand against the trial lawyers??? Mondale being completely evasive and not addressing the question.

[dawn53]

Who's the moderator, Garrison Keillor? </sarcasm>

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

"criticizing Mondale for sitting on corporate boards."

Coleman would have lost my vote right there for making such an idiotic comment.

[Lurking2Long]

Get Linksys.

Very stable within a 300 ft. radius and not that expensive.

[Torie]

Well he will be independent. When his party tries to compromise, he will oppose it. The once thing he is not independent about is his old fashioned hard line liberal ideology. Unfortunately for him, that is no longer majority thinking in Minnesota.

[Johnny Gage]

Coleman: Trial lawyers want a "suit provision" to allow suits AGAINST building owners for TERRORIST ACTS!

scum sucking lawyers

[Pravious]

The derogatory tone in which Mondale refers to Coleman as "pro-life" disgusts me. I guess in RATworld a belief in NOT killing unborn babies is right up there with the great evils of the world.

[Crusher138]

Yikes! Coleman wants trade with Cuba.

Doesn't want ANWAR drilling????

The very definition of a Minnesota Republican!

[jwalsh07]

my government class thinks that Mondale is winning

Columbia or Berkeley?

[Mo1]

Mondale won't stand up against the Trial Lawyers ... I'm SHOCKED!!

[LisaFab]

Asks Mondale if he will defy the trial lawyers and support the Homeland Security bill.

Naturally, Mondale doesn't answer and talks about corportate greed - Figures! They never answer direct questions.
