Second verse, same as the first. 2 p.m. ET, carried live on Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN, and livestreamed right here at the Des Moines Register website. Even if, like me, you’re inclined to skip it after yesterday’s fiasco, tune in for the first five minutes to see if Nurse Ratched has been replaced and whether Iraq and immigration are still off the table.
While you wait, read this. Another day, another clumsy Clinton mouthpiece.
Update: Dear god, they’re using the same moderator.
Update: By special request of the boss, the line of the day.
Update (Bryan): I have to agree with commenter JVelez, that clip is pwnage for Obama.

Uh oh Obama touched the Iowan third rail, Farm subsidies
RINO_Hunter on December 13, 2007 at 2:45 PM
Let’s build windmill plants on the farmland.
AZCON on December 13, 2007 at 2:45 PM
How many of these slugs rode a horse to the debate ?
energy plans = more taxes + fairy dust
elgeneralisimo on December 13, 2007 at 2:45 PM
I can see it now. Meeting of world leaders and we have a POTUS who is always raising their hand for attention.
/sheesh
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:45 PM
Don’t intervene with troops but control EVERYTHING else
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:45 PM
O’Rookie “absolutely committed” to agribusiness
pander much?
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:46 PM
Hillary = arrogant. She’s been waiting the whole debate so far to find a moment to put that hand-raising comment in.
Nice try to look like a leader, Hill, but you’re still just reacting to the standard set by Fred yesterday.
aero on December 13, 2007 at 2:46 PM
How did that happen. Biden gave an answer on farm subsidies and didn’t invoke Iraq. His staff needs to prep his notes better.
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:46 PM
It’s facinating if you are a child. (per biden and lack of farms) Farms require fields, not Barns.
geckomon on December 13, 2007 at 2:46 PM
Farm lan prices have gone up because the Feds and states are requiring gasoline to have ethanol in it.
AZCON on December 13, 2007 at 2:46 PM
They killed the small farmers and now they are crying
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:47 PM
Not only should Liberals not be allowed to Vote, they should not be allowed to play with dials. :)
abinitioadinfinitum on December 13, 2007 at 2:47 PM
take the land back from the evil corporations!
AZCON on December 13, 2007 at 2:48 PM
Hillary just said nothing. I care about something but you’ll never know what it is.
sunny on December 13, 2007 at 2:48 PM
Cute Hillary is trying to steal Obama slogan of change.
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:48 PM
New Yawk farmers enlightening Iowa farmers…..LOL (sorry Allah)
Limerick on December 13, 2007 at 2:48 PM
Glad you said that, I was wondering
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:48 PM
Poor Hillary. She must still be upset with Nasa telling her (at age 14) that she couldn’t be an astronaut because she was a girl. Then the Marine’s would not allow her to be a Marine. I would like to have proof that she is telling the truth about either incident.
tanmany2k on December 13, 2007 at 2:49 PM
These 30-second campaign pitches are useless and annoying.
aero on December 13, 2007 at 2:49 PM
over 90% of family farmers gone but now they want to do things that will cost us three times what the rest are worth to keep them as much as we don’t want to lose them……repeal the death tax fools
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:49 PM
Did Hillary just say “God”? Uh oh.
amerpundit on December 13, 2007 at 2:49 PM
Man is Hillary ever sounding desperate! Shrill and practically yelling. She’s clearly feeling the pressure of being merely an evitable candidate.
notta_dhimmi on December 13, 2007 at 2:49 PM
anybocy know where Dodd is on amnesty?
AZCON on December 13, 2007 at 2:50 PM
Hill: End the War, Health Care, and will not rest until every child has reached their potential. She’s running for Queen Bee not POTUS.
RINO_Hunter on December 13, 2007 at 2:50 PM
Did Dodd just dig on Obama? (”It’s not about wealth or celebrities . . .”)
geckomon on December 13, 2007 at 2:50 PM
Edwards: “The key is to get the children young.”
Ewwwwww.
aero on December 13, 2007 at 2:50 PM
Education this oughta be good
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:50 PM
She did and just blew her chance at POTUS Ha Ha
abinitioadinfinitum on December 13, 2007 at 2:50 PM
Glad Iowans don’t speak for the rest of us. I live in Atlanta, a city which has a population larger then either the entire state of IA or NH. I don’t think they speak for me.
On either side Republican or Dem.
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:50 PM
Pony wants to be our Daddy
AZCON on December 13, 2007 at 2:51 PM
And now Silky the great communicator. Look at those hands moving about. Why I can barely see the puppeteers strings.
notta_dhimmi on December 13, 2007 at 2:51 PM
So Edwards’s kids are in public schools, right?
aero on December 13, 2007 at 2:51 PM
if they think small farms are going to compete with corp. farm lobbyists then they think their voters are fools
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:51 PM
Richardson is putting me to sleep with that dreary monotone. zzzzzzz
notta_dhimmi on December 13, 2007 at 2:52 PM
Richardson wants your kids at the age of 4 effectively turning parents into nothing but breeding stock for their indoctrination camps.
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:52 PM
Edwards wants one (with finger in the air to demonstrate) school system that works for everyone.
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:52 PM
Will Iowa notice this blatantly biased moderator, un friggin believable.
christophercube on December 13, 2007 at 2:52 PM
Federal govt doesn’t hire teachers..
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:52 PM
sorry typed slow
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:53 PM
ROFL
RINO_Hunter on December 13, 2007 at 2:53 PM
Silky is scoring high on the meter, surprisingly. I bet they say he wins the debate.
abinitioadinfinitum on December 13, 2007 at 2:53 PM
$40,000 starting salary for teachers, lol. Ouch, my property tax is acting up again.
sunny on December 13, 2007 at 2:53 PM
Pander to the teachers union. Pay raises for all Richardson, Obama.
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:54 PM
commie kiddie kamps
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:54 PM
Working like a trojan, never heard that expression.
christophercube on December 13, 2007 at 2:54 PM
head start for all…boy that worked so well
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:54 PM
Inner city of Hartford, CT? Huh??
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:55 PM
Working like a ribbed trojan nonetheless. Oh, that’s not what she meant? Never mind then.
Spirit of 1776 on December 13, 2007 at 2:56 PM

AZCON on December 13, 2007 at 2:56 PM
haha…TMI! Although I have to admit that mine did too (which is also TMI)
nottakingsides on December 13, 2007 at 2:56 PM
I wish I was getting a tooth pulled instead of watching this.
abinitioadinfinitum on December 13, 2007 at 2:56 PM
All they talk is big government.
geckomon on December 13, 2007 at 2:56 PM
It’s not just us folks. They are all having a harder and harder time getting that meter to go way up.
mustang1 on December 13, 2007 at 2:57 PM
Hillary going to use the bully pulpit. Now where have i heard that phrase before? Hmmmm.
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:57 PM
Dems had many more years controlling education with only less then 10 or 12 for Reps to fix what they messed up for years
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:57 PM
Is Silky’s accent getting thicker?
RINO_Hunter on December 13, 2007 at 2:57 PM
The moderator is in a noticeably better mood - go figure.
yo on December 13, 2007 at 2:58 PM
Boy Dodd’s wife retired from teaching and Bidens wife is teaching today. Go for the teachers guys.
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:58 PM
Whenever Edwards talks, I get an uncontrollable urge to buy a crappy used car.
aero on December 13, 2007 at 2:58 PM
She’s among friends.
Spirit of 1776 on December 13, 2007 at 2:58 PM
Obama flat lined on the imminent pull out of Iraq but is scoring big on the Justice dept.
yo on December 13, 2007 at 2:59 PM
Back to withdrawal and review all executive orders issued by Bush and health care meeting, - Obama
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:59 PM
Obama just topped out the Luntz graph with his first 100 days answer.
aero on December 13, 2007 at 2:59 PM
All Iraq………..but Iran got dropped off the map
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:59 PM
Obama will call in the Joint Chiefs and tell them … whereupon in an utter surprise to him, they will all hand in their resignations and tell him to get stuffed.
notta_dhimmi on December 13, 2007 at 2:59 PM
Biden End war now, abandon Bush policy on prisoners, health insurandce for all, pre school ed
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 3:00 PM
Obama: I’ll tell the Joint Chiefs that their new mission is to surrender in Iraq, while talking with (appeasing) countries in the region.
amerpundit on December 13, 2007 at 3:00 PM
It’s one street. Albany Ave. (and by inner city the democrats mean minority populated)
geckomon on December 13, 2007 at 3:00 PM
And as the mushroom cloud rose over NYC (God forbid), at least we could say they were educated.
christophercube on December 13, 2007 at 3:00 PM
Nanny state incorporated
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 3:00 PM
Which is exactly what one will get if one were to vote for him.
yo on December 13, 2007 at 3:00 PM
Richardson, - all troops out in year no residual, universal health care, something energy and slap on current policies handling prisoners and the Patriot aAct
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 3:01 PM
Oh! And Bill .. when did “joining the Geneva convention” have anything to do with eavesdropping on phone calls?
yo on December 13, 2007 at 3:01 PM
My those dems are sure ambitious…
RINO_Hunter on December 13, 2007 at 3:01 PM
Shes just giddy
abinitioadinfinitum on December 13, 2007 at 3:01 PM
Dodd - Change discourse in politics, robust diplomacy in ME, health care and energy form commitee
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 3:02 PM
Shrill???? Wait until you guys surrender.
Limerick on December 13, 2007 at 3:02 PM
The only challenges Dems seem to see that we’re facing are how to get more tax $$.
yo on December 13, 2007 at 3:03 PM
Edwards - End the war, close Gitmo, fight for heatlh care reform, call on Americans to take America back and oh yeah corporate greed
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 3:03 PM
I love how the rich personal injury lawyer keeps on railing against corporate greed.
notta_dhimmi on December 13, 2007 at 3:03 PM
We will own democracy ….new concept there
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 3:03 PM
Clinton - End war era of cowboy diplomacy over, rescind executive orders, ending Bush’s war on science,
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 3:04 PM
Bush has a war on Science?
RINO_Hunter on December 13, 2007 at 3:04 PM
Edwards - the wealthy are the ones who control this democracy.
And, he .. rich white kid is campaigning for what, again?
Hill - Bush’s war on science?! Does that mean going to Mars isn’t scientific?
Who buys this hogswallop?
yo on December 13, 2007 at 3:04 PM
America recycles the big stick.
Limerick on December 13, 2007 at 3:04 PM
Bush has declared a war on science?
amerpundit on December 13, 2007 at 3:04 PM
Bush’s war on science… Man, is there anything the Dem’s don’t think he has done.
Spirit of 1776 on December 13, 2007 at 3:04 PM
stem cell research which has already been proven as not needed
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 3:04 PM
Fair question to Clinton re:closed process.
AZCON on December 13, 2007 at 3:04 PM
Speaking of Cowboy, FRED would look nice in a Stetson.
abinitioadinfinitum on December 13, 2007 at 3:04 PM
Hill: “Bush’s war on science”. Why you BDS-infected moonbat shill, we ought send you to the moon, sans moonsuit.
notta_dhimmi on December 13, 2007 at 3:05 PM

CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 3:05 PM

AZCON on December 13, 2007 at 3:05 PM
Clinton…open and transparent?
BwaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!! Whew…I needed that.
Oh, and now she’s going after lobbyists.
amerpundit on December 13, 2007 at 3:06 PM
Biden gets the race question, how rich…
RINO_Hunter on December 13, 2007 at 3:06 PM
Biden getting called out on his ignorant comments … hm.
yo on December 13, 2007 at 3:06 PM
I haven’t laughted this hard in a while.
KelliD on December 13, 2007 at 3:07 PM
