NY Times Debate Diary
Sunday, the four remaining Democrats running for the Democratic Presidential nomination participated in a debate. Katharine Seelye did a running diary/analysis of the debate. As dry as this might sound, there was some interesting comments she made. I didn't watch the debate, so I don't really know what exactly was said, but I'm amused just by reading the commentary.
From her running diary:
2.29 | 11:54 AM
At the same time, Edwards seems better able to articulate these problems in accessible language.
2.29 | 11:53 AM
On North Korea, Kerry has a chance to show his breadth of understanding and historical perspective.
2.29 | 11:28 AM
As usual, Sharpton suddenly captures the bigger picture. Asked if Kerry was a liberal, Sharpton said that everyone looks like a liberal in comparison to George Bush.
2.29 | 11:25 AM
Just a few minutes into this debate it is clear that the candidates know how high the stakes are: with increasingly sharp attacks against each other, Kerry and Edwards know that Kerry needs to keep Edwards from gaining any kind of foothold on Tuesday that could keep his campaign going.

Sharpton always comes up with such good lines/comebacks.

there was a bizarre kucinich parade down 7th avenue in park slope on saturday. it reminded me of a hari krishna march, which i sad, because i kind of like and a agree with many of kucinich's ideas...though i'd never vote for him.

FYI Tien,
You forgot to post a mention of Dan's birthday last week.

i decided to cut down on the birthday posts. unless i'm actually celebrating with that person. i just couldn't keep coming up with the b-day commentary.
i did wish him a happy b-day though and wished him much love (and promised some lovin' if he really wanted it).

corie, that sounds like an interesting parade. were people scratching their heads wondering who kucinich was?
i too seem to agree with kucinich's views the most. back in july, he was my ideal candidate. apparently, there is a new candidate chooser too, as my friend pointed out, but i have yet to take it.

Kucinich is also the favorite of other people I know. Too bad he's not mediagenic enough. Seriously, Edwards, first term Senator, is getting by with his pretty boy looks. He may be smart, but still, the looks help.
