Dodd: Not bad. He was on the good side of the people right away since Snuffalufagus blew the word Nevada. He's a good speaker and I liked that he's a new dad.
Hillary: I never, ever buy what she is saying. As a woman, I want to believer her, but I cannot buy into her. Way too scripted. Way to boring.
Vilsack: Got a little weird with all his imagery and talk of looking into the future with the children. Didn't go over too well with the rambunctious crowd. Still he is sincere and likeable.
Edwards: Got stuck on the war authorization. He is still really dull. He seems to have lost his identity. He's done the 'son of a mill worker' thing, but he's trying to reinvent himself but is not succeeding. Don't like his accent. Funny.
Richardson: The most disappointing because I really like his energy. He didn't look well and what's up with those pants! I expected much more from his. Still, he made a favorable impression.
Biden: I swear on my life I FELL ASLEEP. So I can't really say.
Kucinich: Absolutely loved everything he had to say. Especially when he said that he saw all the same information all the other candidates say and still voted no on the war. Good for him. The Pinocchio thing was too weird. But i love this guy.
Gravel: Started out by saying he's not a cheerleader then proceeded to cheerlead his way through the whole thing! I love it! A bit scattered, needs to focus a bit more. But he is still miles ahead of the others. Wish he'd talk about impeachment, though. How different things would be if he won.

Thanks for the comments and review
Submitted on August 3rd, 2007 by SouthernBelle82I enjoyed your review since I couldn't be there. I hope there are video's later. :) I'm glad Gravel got to attend and all the candidates. Congrats to Dodd on being a new dad. :) I like Richardson as well but he doesn't seem to thrilled or something whenever I hear him speak. *shrug*
for the record
Submitted on February 23rd, 2007 by john from NJGeorge Stephanopoulos and Bill Richardson are Bilderberg attendee's, as well as everyone there with the exception of Kucinich and Gravel, and I don't have any info on Viksack at this time. "Least ye be judged by the company you keep".

Submitted on February 23rd, 2007 by Suzy 2sA little rushed, but he'll settle down. I'm sorry to see Vilsack drop out. Makes you wonder if its really about cash or is there a skeleton? Seems early to be about funds, right?
Loved that Dennis told them he voted no on the war and that he saw all the same intelligence reports. What a bunch of phony liars.
Seems Very early

Submitted on February 23rd, 2007 by jeffhaleyI believe that Gov. Tom Vilsack was looking at his standing in Iowa where he's around 4th place behind Clinton, Obama, and Edwards, and felt like he would have to overwhelmingly carry his own state to springboard nationally, especially in terms of scoring big money, and he was worried that he couldn't stick around financially until then. Also, now that the large states are moving way up in the primary season, for only one reason: money, it will be very hard or impossible for non-corporation backed mega-candidates (like Clinton) to survive.
I'm sure Vilsack would like a place in a 2009 Democratic Cabinet, and I'll be interested to see if he endorses anyone quickly, or tries to remain friendly to all.
I remember when Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) won the 1992 Iowa Caucus and even that wasn't enough for national popularity, even with Gov. Clinton's Floozygate circus. So I think it's hard for Iowan candidates to make any sort of national splash.
Dennis has a weird streak

Gravel was all over the place, but is still better than all of them.

Submitted on February 24th, 2007 by john from NJLooks like I have my work cut out for me. This is the defintive source for Bilderberg from my perspective: http://www.bilderberg.org. You need to get a broad overview of this at first, then everything elese come's in view as a coherent world view of things.
It's a "Staging Area" for the direction of world affairs. You need to get your mind around the concept first.
Thanks for the site
