3. Sharpton takes risks and this one most certainly

did not pay off. He alienated Dean supporters for sure ....and many are African-American women. It was an opportunistic cheap shot ...Since every one attacks Dean, he wanted to jump on the wagon too. Why not, he is not in lead contention, why not create a stir and get free attention I imagine is the plan.....Cheap, cheap and piss-poor.


He lost a lot of credibility.

4. Carol is great

Kudos for her for using her question to ask everyone if they will support the Dem nominee, no matter who it is. :^)

5. sharpton was right

she was shrill and unfocused in her tirade.

6. Quite the opposite

She was direct but rational in calling Sharpton out for his divicive rhetoric. She asked him to go beyond the finger-pointing and tell us what he would do to bring people together. He offered no answer.

7. he answered those questions

He believes however that we need to go beyond the rhetoric and show where each of the candidates has actually lived up to their fine words about race. His calling out of Gov. Dean for neglecting to fight for minority cabinet members through five terms was meant to point up the lack of committment of Gov. Dean in this area.

Completely legitimate. Dean even said afterward that he would engage in a dialogue with Rev. Sharpton on that issue. I hope Gov. Dean will take the chance this time (if he is nominated), act on his convictions, and stick his neck out for minorities to be included in his cabinet. It was harder to do in Vermont. There it would have shown more character and conviction than in the arena of national politics where it is the norm. Still, he has a chance to redeem himself for his past remissness.

8. Braun changed her rap

She used to mention the "White Only" sign on the White House door on every possible occasion. Last night she called it the "Men Only" sign.
