Sharpton On Fire at the SC Forum
Man, he is entertaining! Here's his take on how the media asks various candidates questions:

"They'll ask Kerry to name a maritime disaster, and he'll answer, "The Titanic." Then they ask Edwards, "how many people died on the Titanic?", and he answers, "over a thousand." Then they ask, "Sharpton, give us their names and addresses."

A great line that I may have heard before somewhere.

1. Wasn't he great?
He deserves to win SC or at least finish third.

I also liked when he repeated the part about he's here because of bad trade policy.

2. This entire format kicked ass!

I wish that every debate, whether in the primaries or general election, would allow for this kind of direct give and take with the candidates..which is democracy at its best. This enables the voters to determine who is full of shit...like Edwards, and who is serious..like Dean, Kucinich, and Sharpton.

If all forums had this format, and more time was allowed for the responses..then voters would have the necessary means of finding out which candidate really has their best interests at heart. And it could be done without turning voters off through phony sympathy and BS! :thumbsup:
