World citizens, I want you all to see this example of the American electorate. If nothing is exploding, no one is getting killed or beaten, then its boring. This is why George Bush is in office and Americans like him.
I watched the debates and I thought they were pretty good. Why? The candidates visciously attacked the media in the form of Ted Koppel and his inane questions as opposed to questions on the issues that are affecting America right now and I feel that was needed.
Kucinich brought out his plan to get us out of Iraq which is our new Vietnam and Dean talked about jobs. The only downpoint was the lousy questoins presented by Koppel et al. and they all let them know in no uncertain terms.

And, if I remember correctly, Colonel, Gephardt and Lieberman walked over to shake Kucinich's hand after that. I still don't think Dennis answered the question though. And, I think Dennis was trivializing Ted's question. If Dennis, Braun, and Sharpton can't answer such 'trivial' questions how are they going to get nominated in order to tackle 'the issues that are before us'? Cheap props!
"Big loser tonight: Koppel," said Kucinich spokesman Jeff Cohen That's funny BUT Dennis, the mistake on the lake, Kucinich isn't running against Koppel.
This group says the same thing, over and over and over again. Koppel mixed it up - surely these guys have to face reality soon and drop out.

Anyone can run for president whether you think they have a chance or not. Grow up fellas. We need unorthrodox candidates. I just wish there were more people like Braun, Sharpton, and Kucinich. Damn, anyone who thinks running for president is about money. Damn Kopple with his funky hair piece.
I watched the debates and I liked Clark. I've always liked him but the dems are on this Dean kick and they won't get off long enough to even entertain anyone else when its obvious Dean can't win. Every time I see him I dislike him more. He doesn't want to talk about Iraq because he doesn't have a plan. He opposed the war--whoop-de doo! Everyone with any sense opposed the war. What now? We occupy Iraq until hell freezes over. That's no different than the Bushies plan.
I agree with Kucinich, I think occupation is wrong and we should get out of there as quickly as possible, but his plan isn't realistic. Clark is the only one talking sense about Iraq. He's the only one with a workable plan. He's the only one that can serious talk about every issue that is brought up. He speaks clearly and he's to the point. And he's obviously a very smart man. If he gets the nod--Dubya may as well start packing his bags immediately.
If the democrats don't get it together and back the right guy they are going to lose this election. Even my mother says she won't vote Dean and she's never backed anyone pro-life. I doubt she's really going to vote for Bush but we don't want no stinkin Dean.
