"Iowa Democratic Debate: The Iowa debates are LIVE on CNN! As the caucuses grow near, the Democratic contenders hit the stage"

I don't think it will be as interesting as the NPR debate just because they will again be returning to normal debate style. Whereas the NPR debate was without cameras, without a studio audience, with more back and forth, and with much more time devoted to each issue/response rather than 30 sec sound bites.
(discussed here: http://thewolfweb.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=504844 )

Still this debate should be very influential as it is happening in Iowa and its the last one before the caucus especially considering "Edwards, Clinton and Obama are in a statistical dead heat in the Hawkeye state...with a little less than one month left until the Iowa caucuses on January 3"

On CNN today at 2 pm. Will you be watching?

^he also got the New Hampshire Freedom to Marry endorsement. Which I like... don't know how much it helps him in around here in NC, but amongst democrats I think it could help in that early voting state.

Plus it'll be good in the New Hampshire primary which is right up there with Iowa as far as those go. Not quite as important, but still a big one.

"John Edwards Grade: A- Displayed with mechanized efficiency the same confidence and warm populism that he has nearly perfected on the campaign trail. Talked about his family's working-class roots and the daily struggles of real Iowans with the silky polish of the world-class trial lawyer that he once was. If enough Iowa Democrats watched the debate, Vegas sharpies would be dumb as an ear of corn to bet too much against this guy in the caucuses. "

In times ranking Edwards got first, then Obama, but its interesting that Hillary came in third.

"Hillary Clinton Grade: B+ A weary warrior who knows she is in a battle. But did nothing to reshape the contours of a race that in recent weeks has not been moving her way. Could have smiled more and shown more passion. No bad moments, but no great ones either, and did not dominate the way she did in most of the early debates. Bottom line: Her "When I'm president..." refrain sounds much less muscular and intimidating now that her "inevitability" has been pierced. "
