John Roberts of CNN, doing a standup for tonight's CNN/YouTube Democratic Presidential Candidates' Debate makes a "bold" (READ idiotic) prediction - we will all be talking about Mike Gravel tomorrow.

Unless he pulls a Cheney (and I don't mean an 'f you' Cheney; I mean a 'shoot someone in the face' Cheney), I am confident Mike Gravel will not be the name on everyone's lips tomorrow.

Is Roberts trying to act as if he gets the blogs? Gravel had his night. Months ago. I also predict that I will not be watching the first sanctioned debate (the fourth actual debate). I'm sick of them already. My gawd, there are like 10 to go before Iowa. They will be all the same questions, all the same nonsense. Who started this thing so early anyway?

    and unable to watch. I am sure the highlights will be just as boring as the actual event.

    He has no idea what sort of crowd the blogs play to.  What is with Hillary today?  Not only does my daughter say that everyone in Colorado is hollering Hillary but the local Air Force recruiter said today that he can't wait to vote for Hillary and he seemed sincere and sort of happy.

    A vote against Bush (5.00 / 1) (#5)

    Hillary is the face. It is amazing to me how Obama has utterly blown his chance in this race.

    Amazing.

    she has run a good campaign so far. Also I think her campaign skills have improved considerably. Finally there is the "she is not actually a succubus" factor, by which I mean, once people actually see her ...

    She isn't my first choice (none / 0) (#10)
    by Militarytracy on Mon Jul 23, 2007 at 05:59:53 PM EST
    I would say that's Edwards.  She isn't my second choice because I would say that is Dodd.  She is my third choice and if she is the nominee I will vote for her.

    I too prefer Edwards (none / 0) (#12)
    by Molly Bloom on Mon Jul 23, 2007 at 08:10:43 PM EST
    I will vote any of the Democratic candidates over any of the GOP ones and I won't think twice about it.
