Podium order (per CNN)



Stream will be free without a cable subscription needed -

http://go.cnn.com/?stream=cnn

“All users will be able to watch live CNN TV online and on their mobile devices without logging in … The CNN live stream will be available on CNN.com’s Home Page and across its mobile platforms,” the network announced.

CNN is being retarded about Joe Biden possibly showing up and they have an extra podium ready if he does - watch Stephen Colbert make fun of them for it:

Current polls:

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/poll-hillary-clinton-still-leads-democratic-race/

quote:

Just days before the first Democratic candidate debate, Hillary Clinton is ahead of Bernie Sanders by 19 points in the Democratic race for the nomination nationally. Forty-six percent would vote for her. Her lead is similar to last month, but has narrowed since August. Potential candidate Vice President Joe Biden comes in third, with 16 percent, while the other candidates trail far behind.

If Biden decides not to enter the race, Clinton's lead over Sanders widens. She would have 56 percent support, compared to 32 percent for Sanders.

Clinton is still viewed as the candidate with the best chance of winning a general election. Nearly six in 10 Democratic primary voters see her as the most electable, far ahead of the other candidates in the field.

It's scheduled on my DVR to run until 11:00 EST, so two-and-a-half hours. But that may include time at the end for CNN Expert Analysis about how There Wasn't a Clear Winner.

Webb might actually get a non-zero bump from the debate. Hillary's probably going to go far left in order to compete with Bernie, and O'Malley is probably going to do the same to compete with both of them, so Blue Dogs are going to be turned off from those three but attracted to Jim Webb, who'll probably play up his Reagan Democrat credentials if he bothers to show up .

Chafee will probably get a moment in the spotlight by yelling at Hllary for voting for the Iraq War, but that probably won't translate to support for himself.

Also, everybody is going to get a boost from the Biden supporters who finally give up.

I am looking forward to watching these out of touch authoritarians argue over how best to confiscate more of my money and confiscate my SCARY SPOOKY guns for the CHILDREN.

Also looking forward to the sane person on stage, Jim Webb, having zero poll movement, once again proving how INsane the Democratic rank and file are.

That and the same people who called Romney a robot trying to carry the water for what I'm sure will be a lifeless and dreadful performance by candidate for President Hillary Clinton 2.0

O'Malley's past record and current rhetoric are completely at odds; he definitely isn't acting "hard on crime" anymore, although he hasn't renounced his Baltimore record so he's basically odious to everyone when it comes to crime and a just-left-of-Hillary liberal on everything else
