Al really rocks and he can handle any RW talking head, especially if they come out with tlaking points. BTW, he was defending voting for Lamont.

2. Sharpton was excellent tonight.
I loved the part where he talked about Dr. King not supporting Lyndon Johnson (because of his position on the Vietnam War) even though Johnson had fought for civil rights, etc. Sharpton has one of the shapest minds in the Democratic Party.

3. Yes He Does Rock
He's a figure head for the Democratic arty and am glad he's on my side. The man has plenty of wit about him. His style alone detracts from his opponents.

5. ya mean NOT the cult of personality?
Even on DU, the cultlike devotion you see in some to any man or woman politician just chills me. If they start talking like a duck, I don't keep claiming they are a donkey.
