Sharpton Doesn't Disappoint

The man knows how to deliver a one-liner. From today's democratic presidential candidate debate:

"I think, lastly, the whole notion of our showing our differences is good. But let us not forget that our differences should be toward the aim of winning against Bush.

We are 48 hours away from watching an actor that couldn't win an Oscar winning to be the governor of California."


I read the transcript instead of watching it. Out of the nine candidates, Clark got hammered the most, and his responses in general were more catch phrases than substantive. Sharpton had some interesting things to say, and Kucinich gladly took the role of liberal gadfly. I've heard very little about John Kerry, but he seems knowledgeable about the issues but not academic. Out of the nine candidates, he is the only one who I'm now more interested in after reading the transcript.

(Side note: the spell checker suggested 'juiciness' for Kucinich.)
