John Edwards is doing OK in terms of the style of his answer, but God Almighty, what a weird substance. He's given a good style, one that won't necessary play well with the wackos in the audience.

Carol Moseley Braun displays why she's in the bottom: If it's dangerous there now, it isn't going to get any better when the only thing securing the country (i.e. the United States Army) leaves. For crying out loud.

Kucininch is a loon. No privatization---let the UN have it? NO. The Iraqis would never get anything out of it. Put up an Iraqi National Oil Corporation or something and use the profits for those people, not to put more carpet in the UN's office.

Clark's citation of McCarthyism is off-point, but it plays to the loons in the audience. This question could be, however, extremely important for the future of his campaign. I would point out the story about the British general refusing to start "World War III for [Clark]" when the Russians moved on that airport during Operation ALLIED FORCE. Methinks Wes would talk too much and fight too little. I understand that "Jaw jaw is better than war war" but there are times when you put someone on the floor in a fog. Slobodan Milosevic, Radovan Karadzic, and the like were men who deserved to be KOd in the first five seconds of the fight.

Gephardt took a good position here. Hamas, Hizbollah (or however you spell it) and their ilk aren't going to play nice. They'll play nice when they've been atomized. He's earning laurels as a real Democratic candidate, not a loon. Of course, in front of this audience, that's fatal.

Lieberman gives another solid answer. I will continue to think that he's one of their best men to put forward. Wow, that's a good one. I wouldn't mind a free and independent Palestine and Israel, but never on Arafat's terms.

Dean's foreign policy answer is perhaps decent. Kucininch's Department of Peace is supposed to be a domestic organization? O...K...Dennis, I think they call that the local police department. After having clashed with a few of his supporters once, I doubt Kucininch would have fought World War II.
