Thoughts on the candidates post-debate. [View All]

[Blue-Jay]

Post 'em here. I'll go first.

Mosley-Braun: I met her on several occasions, and she's a wonderful, honest woman. She came off well tonight, but not "presidential". I think she'd be an excellant cabinet-member in the next administration. I hope she is.

Edwards: Likeable. He's got a good future, but not just yet. Possible VP choice.

Kerry: Did well tonight, but skirted the direct question regarding voting for/against *'s request for more money. (As did most that were asked that question) I'd still feel good having Kerry as a president.

Kucinich: I like Dennis. A lot. I fear that he's not an attractive enough to Middle America, though. I wish that were different with all my heart. I'd also feel good voting for him in Nov '04.

Gep: meh. Been in DC too long. Talks like the rest of them. Soundbites without substance.

Dean: Became my top choice tonight. He answered every question with class. My only eye-rolling moment was the sticker that he was wearing. Yes, Howard, I support unions as well. All of the candidates do, bt you may have come off as pandering with that.

Graham: Very well done! I'll admit to not paying much attention to him in the recent past, and I regret that. That being said, I think he'd make a better VP than a president. He just doesn't have the "stuff" IMO. Still, a solid performance.

Sharpton: I like Rev Al better each time I see him. He's the best speaker of the bunch. Of course, a lifetime of preaching the gospel and hanging with James Brown will do that for you.

Let's see... Did I forget anybody?

Yes. Yes, I did.
