I listened to a fair chunk of the radio debate yesterday. NPR ran a lead-in sound biting each of the candidates promising free stuff. for everyone. Dean had more "right" answers than most and emphasized a balanced budget, he still comes off as defensive but the rest keep sniping at him. He picked up Bradleys endorsement recently. Lieberman was most often wrong being pro-war, anti-gay marriage... he'd be in the Republican right wing why he remains a Dem?.. Carol Mosely-Braun sounded less strident than usual and slipped a few personal things in that humanized her a bit... but seriously. Clark wimped out knowing that America is sick of Southern accents in the White House. Kerry still leaves no impression other than being mad at Dean. Gephardt sounds irrelevent and dated. Al didn't show either, to bad, this group is pretty boring. Dennis still comes off as a really unelectable nice guy.
