Why is Joe Lieberman even in the Democratic party? He boasted about voting to censure President Clinton and his support for Bush on the Iraq war. In his closing statement, he claimed how he could beat Bush because "Al Gore and I beat him in 2000." But DINO Joe's performance during Electiontheft 2000 was shameful, particularly when he practically begged the Republicans to include illegal overseas ballots in the Florida count. And what the hell was Lieberman doing with that condescending "question" to Carol Moseley Braun?
The second biggest embarassment was George Stephanopolous, the moderator of the debate. He wasted an entire section of the debate on "perception" questions. The perceptions are either the RNC's talking points, or complete nonsense. Lieberman is too nice to be President? Who the hell thinks that? What voter actually thinks that John Kerry is too aloof?
Dennis Kucinich, Bob Graham and Al Sharpton didn't make too much of an impression. And they all stand as much chance of winning the nomination as Chinless Mitch Daniels has of becoming Governor of Indiana.
Dick Gephart was present, I think.
Carol Moseley Braun showed she was willing to take the RNC head on, identifying Bush as an unelected president and saying the Supreme Court decided the 2000 election.
John Kerry and Howard Dean got sidetracked on the irrelevant issue of their purported mudslinging, without ever answering (or being asked) serious questions about their own agendas.
The whole event was entirely uninformative.
Addendum: Both Carol Moseley Braun and Dennis Kucinich blasted the Patriot Act, which is a major point in their favors. And where was Gary Hart?
