Democratic Presidential Forum Open Thread

Tonight's "All American Presidential Forum" is being televised on PBS and webcast here. It's taking place at Howard University here in DC. Tonight's debate is inspired by The Covenant with Black America.

In addition, Pam Spaulding is live blogging from the event. She's got a post up about the preliminary events.

Great line from Richardson "Sometimes when I talk about education and this is the first time we have talked about it in any debate, the first thing you hear is 'how are you going to pay for it?' Nobody asks how we're going to pay for the war."

It's harder to blog the Democratic debates. By and large, I agree with all of them. They're talking about solving real problems. And, this debate is about substance. A discussion about education -- imagine that.

Gravel is being Gravel, of course.

Pam Spaulding is doing a great job of providing snapshots of the answers. I keep checking her post because she's on the scene in real time -- and I'm behind. Also, can't wait to see how the Republicans will answer the AIDS questions since they are the party of no condoms and abstinence only.
