Ah, the "free speech zone"—pioneered by college administrators,
fine-tuned by the Bush administration, perfected by CNN. Before
last night's debate the hundreds of boosters of
Clinton/Obama/Dodd/whoever who braved the seasonal June mists and
sub-60 degree temperatues. I've applied my considerable video
editing skills to the tape I recorded walking into the rally pen. A
minute or so of walking into the pen is followed by a walk
alongside the pen. The fresh-scrubbed young folks are not screaming
for reason: James Carville was walking right ahead
of me.
I'm continuing to put up video from the debate. Here's Sen. Martha
Fuller Clark, an Obama endorser, explaining why it looked like
the senator was putting the audience to sleep. (I'm having trouble
compressing a video of Dennis Kucinich, but luckily it's less
interesting than I remembered: He says neither a Democrat who voted
for the war and against funding nor a candidate who votes for
funding, period can win. So he took a little dig at Hillary then
extended his range to hit everyone else.)

FELLAS!
I just checked a poll at Little Green Footballs. It has Ron Paul winning the Democrat debate last night (I voted for him, too).
Truthers of the world unite!

I like the shot at the end, where all those people are jammed into that tiny space.
It's like Bill Lundberg walked up to them and took their staplers and said, "Yeah...We're going to need you to just...squeeze...together a little bit more...Yeah..."

I'd simply note that these things really aren't "debates." They are more like multi-candidate speeches.

Is it wrong to think that anyone dumb enough to confine themselves to a "free speech zone" probably doesn't have anything interesting or intelligent to say?

Oh, and I forgot:
"Woooooooooooooooo go Chris Dodd!!!"

unless you somehow got kucinich to explain how he ended up so insanely over-chicked, I'm not interested.
