45. Sharpton

Deans my guy till the end.

I thought last night was not a great night for him however. He seemed confused in some of his answers and unprepared. There were a couple points were he made his point very well, but he was also attacked a couple times with no chance to rebut and i think it hurt him.

The second time kerry went after him and they went to comercial dean clearly made a fuss to get a chance to rebut the point but I think by the time the break was over and they got back to it he had lost what it was he was rebutting and was trying to address the comentators questions and kerry's jab in the same answer and i think he flubbed it.

That aside I dont think he got hurt. I agree with what a lot of others are saying. I dont think he gained much support from the debate but I dont think he lost anything either.

Lieberman slaughtered himself I think. I will be amazed if he doesnt take a huge hit in the polls behind this.

Kerry I think had his best performance to date. Despite the fact that he practically never addressed the original questions he had his points prepared and delivered them well. I think he has figured out that the strategy in these debates is to take your time and make the points you feel you need to make. I think it worked well for him and agree with the strategy. I personaly cant stand the man but i think he did well last night.

Ghep said nothing IMHO or less than nothing. It was all about why hes not bush over and over. Bush bad ghep good cause clinton was good and ghep like clinton. Just no substance there I dont think he did himself any favors.

Edwards over all was decent I think he got nailed on the patriot act think th ough and I think it will hurt him. Till last night i thought he was coming on strong but the patriot act question was really bad for him and i think it will hurt him. I was moving edwards to my number two spot before last night but now he slides backwards some.

Kucinich ...... HMMM Denis had a mixed performance last night. I think he was great on his Iraq exit strategy and scored points. However his clear disgust with the moderators and his attempted attack on Dean didnt go over well i dont think. Also his answer on the department of peice will leave people going huh? He was trying to make a point i think of the dangers of the detroit streets but I think his misquote and his trying to connect those deaths with his department of peace diluted his message and made it apear strange.


CMB was affable as always. Not a contender IMHO but once again presented herself as inteligent and worthy of a position somewhere.

Sharpton was the man. Yet again this guy comes out and says what needs to be said. He is definately slaping the donky! I will miss him if/when he drops out. Never thought i would say that but the man is just rocking! His statement regarding the I/P situation was the closest to the truth I have seen on the national stage ever to this date. Unfortunately Lieberman followed and spouted the PC propaganda and took away from Al's message but I will have a soft spot for al from now on for his courage to stand up and speak the truth on this devisive issue.

hmmm oh Clark. Clark did nothing. I dont know if he helped or hurt himself. I think a large portion of Clarks support comes from the Idea of clark and I dont think he did anything to define himself l;ast night. His answers said Ill make things better but not how. There isnt much time to talk so i guess he can use that as an excuse but of all of them up there hes the one that needs to let his suporters and others know who he is. I dont think he did anything last night to make his positions clear.

Overall I think sharpton Won the debate. Kerry got the second best performance out of it and dean Didnt get injured. The rest either held thier ground or lost some IMHO.

It was a lively debate though and far more entertaining than any of the previous ones. The questions for the most part were good ones with the exception of a few that were completely rude. "Do you think you time is over ghep?" WTF? I dont care if he was in last place that sort of question is just out of line.

Good debate my guy didnt do as well as I would have liked him to but life goes on and its still his to lose so I am ok with it.
