Those of us that are dis-enchanted with the Obama Adm. and are looking for an alternative for 2012 were left out in the cold by the Iowa caucus, when a mere 100,000 people in Iowa reduce the field to the "same old same old". I am a suburban Cook County Democratic that does not normally vote Republican (voted against both John & Todd Stroger and wished I could have voted against then more than once in the same election).
Craig Dellamore said the Iowa caucas didn't determine the election (where is he coming from?), those that drop out of the race because of this BOGUS caucas certainly DO determine the candidates who will continue to pursue their run for the Presidency for 2012. Craig and most of your politicos are so out of touch with the everyday person. Unfortunately everyone running needs to be a millionaire - which is not what people want, or how the process should be determined. I would like to see and hear more of Jon Huntsman, but about 5% of Iowa may have given him the boot...how is that democracy?!? I have not yet given up on Barack who has tried to work with the nastiest, meanest, most vengeful, hateful, uncompressing Congress ever. I’d love to see Channel 11 host a forum and or panel with the “every man” expressing their thoughts and hopes for where our country can and should go regarding elections and the political process: we’ve lost the whole idea that our founding fathers envisioned which is “Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career “. I’m really tired of career politicians. Channel 11 – how about an evening for us?? ....…count me in.

Eddie Arruza...do not mess with the order of issues to be debated....get your priorities straight...sports needs to be debated last..the groupon deal affects more viewers and needed to be discussed then whatever happens to Zambrano.
