The Conventional Wisdom round of this is brutal. Dean came across well in his shot at Kerry, and Kerry did OK volleying it back. Gephardt got hit way below the belt. I think he got angry, and he should have. He ought to play on his experience, and he did. Most of these nitwits up there couldn't figure out real policy if they had to. I'd trust Gephardt, Kerry, and Lieberman on that regards---even if I would disagree significantly with where they wound up.
Kucininch's tete-a-tete with that idiot moderator is surreal.
Sharpton fails to understand the D.C. Statehood issue. Off-hand, Washington, D.C., if I remember correctly, is under the mandate of the Congress in terms of being governed. That's not by the hand of the evil white-wing Republicans of the 1980s, but by Constitutional order. Sorry, Sharpton.
Clark's answer was weird. I suppose it's folksy, and I reckon it'll work.
