CNN Hosts Democratic Debate Tonight

The Democratic contenders in the Presidential race will take the stage tonight in another primary debate. The University of Nevada will host the event, which will be captured for posterity (and our criticism) by CNN TV cameras. All the action begins at 8pm.
I’ve had the pleasure of watching the primary debates (for both opposing camps) from the beginning, and I must say there’s simply no better TV on at all. Each new debate sees more pointed comments, more heated arguments and more political “outing” from the competitors. Everyone’s policy is on the table for review, everyone’s actions will be called forward and everyone is sure to be at each other’s throats before it’s all said and done. Now, that’s entertainment.
CNN polls for the state of Nevada find Hillary Clinton in the lead by a huge margin (51%), proving to me that I am one of the few actually watching the debates. Barack Obama is in second place with 23% of the popular vote while John Edwards still in the running at 11%. Bill Richardson, surprisingly, has surged ahead of other competitors with 5% of the vote, followed closely by Joe Biden who has 4%. Both Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich have 1% of the popular vote, with 4% of those polled remaining undecided.
We all have to vote for one of these contenders, or one of the Republican debaters, fairly soon. Watch the debates.
Watch the debates.

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart, best known for tongue-in-cheek humor on the satirical Daily Show, is getting attention from everywhere recently. Not only has Stewart’s show been nominated for an Emmy, but the host also recently turned down a network gig with NBC. Upcoming guests for The Daily Show include four Presidential candidates: Senator Joseph Biden (D – Del.), who has already appeared on the show once; John McCain (R), who will make his tenth appearance on the show August 16; Tommy Thompson (R – for. Gov. Wisc.) will appear on August 20; and Barack Obama (one of the heavyweight Democratic contenders) will make his second appearance on August 22. The month promises to be full of candidates, coverage on the primary debates, and the jokes that make even this political mess fun.

Keep a Scorecard for the Primary Debates
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Specials, News,
The calendar says that 2008 is going to be a Presidential election year, and that can only mean one thing: primary debates. This year’s round of competitors are fierce and rarin’ to go – and anyone can catch the action on Sunday. Missed the first primary debates? No problem, they’re going to be doing this for months and months (and on a few different networks). The Presidency is wide open at this point, and it’s anybody’s guess just who will get the oh-so-important primary vote, but one thing is for sure: they will all scramble to outdo each other at the debates, and that makes for interesting TV. Who will walk away with your vote? Make sure you keep a notepad handy, or else you’ll never keep track of all the players.
