Lincoln Chafee: Next year we're not only electing a president, but a world leader. So he's running against Obama's foreign policy?

Lincoln Chaffee once retweeted one of my Tweets. I'm obliged to listen to him.

18 minutes in, and we’re JUST NOW explaining rules.

My God the level of protection to keep them from talking is painful.

Really hope that after the ground rules are explained we can pause for some more commercials, catch our breaths.

Now a #DemDebate commercial for an old lady talking about voting. Weird, huh?

Anyone want to be closing statements are up next?

Sung by Sheryl Crow, maybe?

On a serious note, even the socialist in the race is closer to mainstream political opinion than most of the Republicans in the race.

Scratch that... #DemDebate has still not started #wsbtv 8:45pm

Seriously, it’s like @CNN doesn’t realize they’re actually able to ask Hillary a pointed question.

SHE’S. RIGHT. THERE.

Would it have killed CNN to tell us this was starting at 8:45 instead of 8:30? I had 1,367 better ways to spend that 15 minutes.

“And the rockets red glare…”

Power chords kick in, Joe Biden drops in from the sky, put his hands in the air. Fireworks.
