As a Bush supporter, I'm appalled by how softball the questions were for Obama! They totally ignored all of the deeply disturbing questions that Americans like me demand to have answered...shame on you ABC! Anyhow, here are the IMPORTANT questions that Good Ole Charlie should've asked: 1) Senator Osama, there have been several rumors about your involvement in Satan worship lately; in fact, many people even say Senator Obama that you are the ANTICHRIST, how do you respond to these rumors that you are in fact yourself the ANTICHRIST? Isn't it true that you did not attend church services this weekend? Just for the record, Senator Clinton was seen attending church this weekend and so was Senator McCain. Don't you love Jesus, Senator Obama? 2) Senator Obama, it has been widely reported that Jane Fonda has endorsed you for President of the United States. As we know, Hanoi Jane is a dirty hippy pinko from way back in the day when she stood on a tank and pledged allegiance to Ho Chi Minh while Senator McCain was being tortured. How do you respond to criticisms that your candidacy has allowed someone like Fonda to support you? Weren't you once at a Hollywood party in which Fonda was also in attendance? How do you explain this association? 3) Senator Clinton has pledged to nuke Iran into oblivion with 200,000 nukes, but you haven't stated yet exactly how many nukes you would consider to be enough to show our indignity. So, Senator Obama, specifically how many nukes do you consider to be proper amount to blast Iran into oblivion? Is it 200,000 or 250,000? Why won't you give a specific answer on this? Why do you keep defending the Iranian interests? Are you an Iranian sympathizer, Senator Obama?

Here's the question for tomorrow's poll. CAN THE HOT SEAT POLL ASK ANY MORE STUPID AND/OR BIASED QUESTIONS. Your choices are:
Yes, they still have a lot more idiots on their staff.
No, even people working there refuse to do this any longer.
Who cares about this idiocy.
I believe this will result in an overwhelming vote for "Yes, they still have a lot more idiots on their staff".
Everyone, vote now.

No matter how you vote in this poll, it is a negative vote. I thought it was a good debate but I don't think flag pins are crucial.

I am one of the "I quit watching debates" voters. I am sick of this election and I will be glad when I don't have to hear anymore. These candidates act more like children than adults!!

The media is in complete control of the debates and show they are leaning to Obama making it a one-sided unfair event.

Peggy, Yes is my answer. Todays question is stupid and biased. What are they getting at with the flag pins? My husband and I both wear flag pins. It is a choice. Does not make you unamerican if you don't wear one, but what does it have to do with debates. Did I miss something?

The no choice is so stupid as if they only asked about flag pins. I see why it was brought up, Obama is the one that made a big deal about why he wouldnt wear one now all of the sudden he has one on whats the deal. You are just upset because they didnt ask obama if he wanted his pillow fluffed. Grow up, its not the moderators job to throw softball questions at the candidates because they prefer one over the other. We saw how real journalism is done. It was Great and one of the best debates.

Well...I was wondering when the negativity concerning Hillary was going to start today. Since it's pretty much clear from the pundits and broadcasters that Hillary won that debate, now the debate was the worst one ever. What a coincidence.
Why doesn't the media just go ahead and accuse Hillary of the Kennedy assassination? The media has thrown everything else into a negative spin concerning her...why not fire some big guns.

Why can't the answers just be a simple yes, or no on these polls. However, Watching the Democrats Debate;
As anyone else noticed that when Obama is asked a question he wants to pull Hillary down instead of just answering the question. He reminds me of a third grader that can't wait to be a tattle-tail. Hillary answered the questions, without putting Obama down, Why could he not show her the same respect?

Sara.your question is terrible !! We need a choice of answers that allows to let the world know what we thought of the 2 losers last night. The only winner was the Republican Party because the Democratic one showed their buffoonery last night. I recommend the Decmocrats find a new candidate (bring back Kerry or Gore) because neither Clinton nor Obama can compete with the anti-American baggage they're carrying.

Peggy Are you surprised that someone who bills herself as a wonkette has enjoys taking biased polls. Sara K thinks that if she has her pic taken looking like a little girl then people will equate that to intelligence. I guess I know know why the US is lagging in scholarship and why we have to import trained experts from other countries. What a flake she is.

I stopped watching "debates" long ago. Far too much "coddling" by the press. The press does as much as they can to make "their" candidates look good so they can look good. This is about our nation!! Where are the tough questions on the issues? What socialist country in the world do these 2 want to emulate? How will taking taxes out of the economy (our pockets) help the economy? How will alienating Saudi Arabia bring down the cost of a gallon of gasoline? Why aren't these questions being asked???

So, when the questions are directed at Obama, and "are unfairly asked", then the debate is bad. When the same is true for Clinton, then it is okay? Obama should quit crying and the public should realize that "the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know!".

polls that allow qualifiers to yes/no questions are meaningless before you ask your question.

KSun, I am also appalled that you are a Bush supporter. He has been one of the most worthless, dumbasses we had to look at for eight years. No wonder Letterman features one of his dumbass moments every night. Vote Democrate in 2008

One thing that was funny, though, was when they asked both candidates how they would use George W. Bush during their administration.
They looked at each other like..."Hmm...can you take this one? I can't think of an answer."

It's not about him not wearing the pin as to the reason he does not wear the pin! He is running to be the Pres of this country and he doesn't want to offend the people that do not agree with this countrys policies???????????????????????????? Good God .....he is so pathetic and un-electable!
