A pared-down panel of four Democratic presidential candidates met in New Hampshire for a nationally televised debate Saturday night, just three days before that state's key primary, and spent much of the session giving their interpretations of the campaign's prevailing theme of political change -- and disagreeing about which of them is best capable of delivering it.

The CNN-YouTube Democratic debate is under way  marking the first time that a journalist or a professional has not dictated what is asked of the candidates. The control is solely in the voters' hands -- and then candidates were asked about slavery reparations.

Many of our political savants and pundits took one in the teeth last night. I couldn't be happier about last night's surprising results, and not because I favor one candidate or another.

Jim Posner sent me a link yesterday to an MP3 of a conference call between the press and two members of the Clinton campaign. It's really illuminating.  There are controversies the press isn't reporting, esp betw the Clinton campaign and NBC. Will there be a debate on Feb 26 and will CNN host it or MSNBC? There's some doubt, but you can't see it when you watch the broadcasts.  I'd love to subscribe to a feed of these conference calls, but we only happened to stumble upon this one. This morning on MSNBC they were talking about a conference call with Hillary Clinton, they said she sounded tired. I'd like to hear that for myself.  There's a difference in 2008, the campaign is not just being covered by the professional media, the people are doing it too. Even if we don't have our people on the calls, I'd still like to hear them.  So, if you have an idea how we could catch a stream of these, please post a comment. Thanks. PS: I archived the MP3 in case the link above goes bad.

Democratic presidential candidates face a new kind of grilling Monday when debate questions come from America's living rooms via YouTube. Analysts say the format could force candidates to be more straightforward but some say the debate isn't as different as it should be.
