That was awesome.

Other videos (http://rockthevote.org/rtv_cnn_video.php) from the other candidates. I was waiting for Meatwad to roll out on Kucinich's.

Did anybody actually *see* the Rock the Vote debate last night? Sad to say I missed it.

We saw it but missed the first 30 minutes (it was on pretty early!) and I guess that's when the sparks really flew at Dean for his Confederate flag comment.

The rest was nothing new except a new line by Sharpton:

"I'm from the King generation. We believe in dreams, Bush believes in hallucinations!"

sheesh! I love that Sharpton is in the race. He's really good...makes all the issues so real and can answer anything and everthing.

Yes, it's amazing the questions you can answer when not hindered by the burdens of truth or morality.

I'm not sure what you mean. I was actually thinking about his recent appearance on Hardball.

He was asked a number of questions regarding policy and seemed as though he has spent quite a bit of time thinking about each of these ideas. But I think what I like most about him is his ability to not allow the pundits to talk circles around him. He knows the rhetoric, aware of the lies and sees when interviewers are trying to trap him into saying something he probably shouldn't.

I'm not sure how to explain it except that he is a valuable asset to the Democratic party in that he calls each of the candidates out on their stances on things as well as calling Bush on his.

I think he forces all of the candidates to stay on their toes, clear up their guffaws and stand firm against the current White House.

I think he is sharp.

And yes, I plan to watch SNL.

Given his experience with prosecutors that would be expected.

You're probably right. Still, as it stands now, Sharpton controls the interview process and I think is a big help in trying to keep the most crucial Democratic issues clear despite the number of candidates in the race.

Well, he's certainly good at mobilizing voters who otherwise probably wouldn't get involved in the political process. And yes, he's very sharp.

He's not much of a team player, he doesn't speak for the majority of liberals, and he will go to jail sooner or later. He's a slick talker and has no appeal whatsoever to mainstream liberals. But so long as he's not actually the chosen candidate (which will never happen) he has little effect on the majority of voters.

If he keeps a relatively low profile and just delivers his constituents to the party he could be very useful, especially short-term and in a close election. But I don't think that's likely to happen.

I don't know. It's hard for me to think about it objectively because the man is such an ass. From a moral standpoint, I hate the idea of liberals/Democrats being associated with him.
