Though I did not attend the real thing, MoveOn.org organized more than 1,000 house parties nation-wide last night. All the presidential candidates were invited and nearly all the Democratic candidates did show up. (No Republicans?) You can see their presentations and highlights here.

Really very interesting and helpful, especially so early in the cycle. BTW, here's yet another major Internet innovation that it appears the Republicans are unable to use (!?). If you're a MoveOn member you can vote for the best candidate after viewing the videos. The results will be announced tomorrow--should be very interesting. The chatter I've heard, which I agree with after watching the candidates, is that Biden was boring, Obama was all style over substance, Hillary blew it in her first sentence, Kucinich was, per usual, Dennis the Menace, and Edwards came across the best - strong, compelling and very clear.

View the videos and I?d love to see some RK analysis. The quality of the questions from MoveOn members was really excellent--by comparison, a real embarrassment to the MSM!

P.S. MoveOn will be organizing two more issue-based nation-wide house parties this summer on health care and global warming. This is really Grrrreat!! Nothing like an energized base!
