I don't like this debate format.

Dean: Dodges the question by bashing Bush.

Kerry: Says we've got a fraudulent coalition. I suppose the United Kingdom doesn't exist, Mongolia doesn't exist, Australia doesn't exist, and so forth. Brilliant foreign policy, Kerry. Kerry wants someone else to get shot out.

Al Sharpton: Bah. "Bush roulette". Is this what the mighty civil rights movement has come to? Besides, this ain't no Vietnam. We never captured Hanoi, put Ho Chi Minh on the run, or laid waste to the North Vietnamese Army.

General Clark: If he said that February 2003 quote, more power to him. Bait & switch, eh? I haven't enough information to evaluate the accuracy of his remarks. No diplomacy and no leadership? Bah. We tried, you moron. Not a bad answer, but this is annoying. His 'support right, condemn wrong' was pretty good.

Gephardt: This is the first good answer that's been given all night. It's not an idiot's rabble-rousing remark (i.e. Dean et cetera) nor is it flat wrong, like Kerry.

Lieberman: Comes out swinging; that's great. Heh heh heh, right between the eyes for the (real) Hebrew Hammer! (sorry, Sid Rosenberg---Bernard McGuirk slapped you about, so you can't get that claim)

Edwards: "Never give George Bush a blank check" is not so bad.

Kerry's response to Lieberman is weak, IMO. There's a ridiculous theory that because we didn't go in with the bloody French somehow makes this...gah. Clark's response goes nowhere. Lieberman's still punching, and that's a good move.

They've skipped Kucininch and Braun so far---can't blame Fox but it's obviously problematic.

More in the next post. Bravo to Edwards for getting in there on their behalf.
