Democratic presidential debate: CNN, 7 p.m. ET.

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- The Iraq war was expected to be the dominant issue confronting Democratic presidential candidates tonight at their second televised debate of the campaign, this one in the leadoff primary state.

All the major candidates planned to participate in the two-hour debate, including Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama, Chris Dodd and Joe Biden; former Sens. John Edwards and Mike Gravel; New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson; and Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich.

War front-and-center as candidates prepare for debates

Carville: Edwards the one to watch

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Democratic Strategist and former adviser to President Bill Clinton told CNN’s Lou Dobbs, “I would watch John Edwards” during tonight’s Democratic presidential debate.

Although several candidates poked fun at his ultra expensive hair cut, the DailyKos website named Edwards the winner of the last debate in South Carolina.

Thanks for letting us know.
I might have mistakenly tuned in.

I'm personally placing a 'until one year before the election stay outta my face' policy in regards to the presidential elections.

So, if I make a thread about anybody running before then, please ban me immediately!

True, this is getting ridiculous. The mudslinging has begun so early that we'll hate all the candidates long before '08 even gets here.

Exactly what I thought. Then I saw Bush and his finger and laughed.

ENOUGH WITH THE DEBATES!! Election are in 18 months and there seems to be a debate every week. For the love of God stop debating. By the time the elections are here, everyone is going to be to sick of the candidates to actually vote.

I find it interesting, not in the fact that I'm picking my candidate at this point, but rather hearing different views. There is nothing wrong with listening to a candidate at any point. In fact, it will provide us with a nice perspective when we hear more from these guys as the election approaches. We have plenty of people here in these forums who jump at the chance to back slap us with their opinions (at any given point). However opinionated doesn't necessarily mean educated.

Hopefully the more we hear from them, the less of them there will be. Only 3 of them have any chance...

Yeah, I agree, especially since I can't even watch any of these debates over here. Don't ask me why, but American politics are far more interesting than European ones.

I believe the word is cut-throat .

Edwards and Kucinich make the most sense out of the bunch, but Obama is probably the best speaker.

Really? I find Kucinich to be straight up odd.
Edwards at least follows up his words with actions. All that stuff he's done for the poor in his area is admirable. It's too bad I can't vote for him because him and I disagree in so many other areas. TBH, I thought they were all talking from their asses with the exception of Richardson and Edwards. It's just too bad I can't vote for Richardson either. I guess I'm gonna go with a republican or the libertarians.

Yes hilldog, God took your husbands penis out of Monica's mouth and it never happened.

I agree. It's best to learn what candidates are like early on, especially because of primaries.

I thought, from those clips, that the debate was excellent. (Especially compared to all the BS going on back in 04)

Don't get me wrong, I like Richardson too. Honestly, I forgot to mention him.
