i watched/listened to it on the msnbc website in pieces while i was doing some other things
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18296908/ -- "Watch the Debates"
it will be replayed on cspan too i think, and the Republicans take their turn next week
Gravel is indeed a wild one, it's good to have him there to shake it up. his interview w/ Chris Matthews is pretty funny too, check out Matthews' donkey laugh. Barack suddenly sprouted a Southern accent for his post-debate rally. Kucinich might be more successful if he didn't go out of his way to demonstrate how liberal he is (Barack's strategy), or just let his wife appear in his place. i thought Edwards "I admit my mistakes" was a decent line.
i still haven't felt the heat from Hillary, i thought she was average. i don't understand why she is leading most polls aside from name recognition.
the rest of the candidates were all decent. it was funny Biden raised his hand when there was reference to the frontrunners -- he's probably fighting hard for 5th place, hoping to double his 1% draw.

Rhode Island Votes To Move 2008 Primary To Tomorrow
April 18, 2007 | Issue 43•16
PROVIDENCE, RI—The Rhode Island legislature has passed a law moving the state's presidential primary to tomorrow, forcing candidates from both parties to hastily revise their schedules and platforms.
"I love Rhode Island, always have—especially the people," said Sen. John Edwards while being briefed on Rhode Island politics aboard a plane bound for Providence. "Just because it's a small state doesn't mean it's not important. Frankly, I've always believed Rhode Island, or the 'Ocean State,' as I prefer to call it, should be much bigger—an issue on which my opponents have remained curiously silent."
Former Gov. Mitt Romney announced his intention to release a 10-point plan addressing the issues that most deeply affect Rhode Islanders, as soon as he and his staff figure out what those issues are.
