Reply #12: This Was Probably One Of The Best Debates [View All]

No...I think Charlie Gibson's a total tool and there were your usual talking point/gotcha questions, but I found this debate more informative than past ones for several reasons. The format where the candidates could go at it with one another was a good start...claims didn't go unchallenged and we could compare the top three candidates side by side.

Regarding DK...alas, his time has come and gone. This is his second run and it appears he's done worse this time than the last time. Unlike Edwards who kept most of his organization together and had operations ready to go on the ground the day he announced, DK started from scratch...as if he was going to surprise people again.

Last summer I sat in on a debate...all the candidates were there and had a good chance to see and meet Kucinich...and I appreciated some of the topics he brought to the debate, but while others attempted to discuss the issues, he was trying to play the room. While I admire his stands on issues and will never question his heart or credentials...the time has come to narrow this debate and focus on who will be the best nominee of the party this year.
