I'm going to watch. I don't expect much new content. Sharpton will get some good laughs, Kerry will try and play the underdog thing up.
I think Dean may present more substance as far as his policies go, in an attempt to get rid of all this bad press he's been getting. A solid vision put forth by him could do a lot to get his campaign back on track. That's what I'm really watching to see.
watch for a mea culpa from dean tonight, he's been talking about "it" somewhat today and making light of it i guess. he's got nothing left to lose.
not fair to sharpton, every debate i've seen he's been a substantive and cogent candidate......he can't help it he has a crazy past.....well yeah he can, but i've enjoyed watching him campaign.
I wasn't knocking Sharpton. Just commenting on how he's been humorous at times in the debates. He's bar far the most charismatic of all the contenders. And I really like some of the things he's said, too.
I'm going to miss Carol Mosely-Braun. I always liked her demeanor, her positions on many issues and her ability to keep "the boys" in check. She will be missed tonight.
Sharpton lost my respect when he began attacking other candidates. It's widely rumored that Sharpton is running to gain power and co-opt Jesse Jackson's "leadership" in the black community. Although Jesse Jackson has not endorsed any candidates, has said more than good things about Dean. His son, Jesse Jackson jr., is a Dean supporter.

are you talking about the iowa black and brown debate?
This is nothing more than an overglorified press conference with poor reporters asking the questions. There's hardly any clash between the candidates at all.
The questions are horrible, the time limits on the answers are horrible. How is it that they give more time to people to ask the questions than the candidates get to answer them?

Did everyone just hear Sharpton's digressionary comments on Dean?
Yes and I also noticed he knows nothing about the federal reserve.

Kucinich is the man.
Ok, the fact that Kucinich made a deal with Edwards in Iowa just me made lose all respect for him. He obviously isn't as principled as I thought.

John Kerry won this debate.
Howard Dean and Dennis Kucinich did very well too.
What the hell is Clark talking about with "family values?"
