Debate Bait
Didn't catch the whole debate yesterday afternoon - only saw the highlights that CNN dubbed exciting enough for replay. Looked like everyone did a good job, although someone really needs to tell these guys that most Democrats don't care which one wins as long as he can beat Bush. I like Dean and I think I like Clark, but I'd vote for any of the other top-liners, even Lieberman, if that's what it came down to. I think all but the most hopeless Kucinischites feel the same way. So please, guys, save the replay-ready soundbites for the general election and stay on-message with your own platform. People will figure out where the differences are without anyone needing to go negative.
And for the no-hopers, it's time to thank your supporters (or apologize to them for taking their money), turn your campaign chests over to the National Committee and call it a day. The contenders - Dean, Clark, Kerry, Lieberman, Gephardt and maybe Edwards - need the oxygen.
