Well can anyone be surprised if Senator Dodd tried to get as much time as he could to address the electorate? The preceding debates on MSNBC and CNNN were a joke for fairness. Thank you PBS for letting everyone speak!

Oh yeah I think Dodd's website had the "talkclock" or something like that. You guys might want to mention that...

I prefer this format. Like hearing each one answer the same question. Would have liked a question on Iran.
There was enough time to build and inform, wasn't just one liners and gotcha questions like previous "debates". 2 hrs would have been better. Although the best format would be a 'conversation', ask the question and let them discuss the topic.

Most of the candidates did great. However your coverage here on these pages. . .that's a very different story.

It was a big improvement in fairness.

It was as good as could be expected. It could have been longer, and each candidate could have been given an extra fifteen seconds. Richardson had a bit of trouble putting on the brakes, which makes up for last time. Overall, a fairly good format.

I fully agree that the format allowed the audience to hear what each candidate had to say about the same topic. That's a fantastic format. I wish it had been a longer alloted time so that more questions were asked.

I thought it was fair and wonderful. I really got to see how each candidate feels about issues that really are a big concern to me as a black woman and I hope to the rest of the nation. I really enjoyed this debut.

It seemed as if Richardson floundered on EVERY question. Not that his answers were wrong, just seemed very uncomfortable trying to give them.

My vote goes to Mike Gravel. He told it like it is. No beating around the bush for this guy.
Hillary to Obama told it like the audience wanted to hear it. Snake oil doctors.

I am in awe that people would consider Hillary as commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces if elected!
The middle East has nothing but scorn for females and that is where are biggest problems lie.

Re Jack: the middle east has scorn for females so don't elect them? By that logic we should not elect christian or jewish candidates. Lets run the list of Republican and Democratic candidates past Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait and Jordon to get a ranking.

It was a big improvement in mediocrity,little more.In such a format all have shown themselves ,using William Lloyd Garrisons take,to be ''first rate,second rate''candidates.
