Grade the candidates' debate!

[Hawkeye-X]

Go for it. Dean gets a B+, the rest gets C, and Kerry gets a D- because he's WAFFLING yet again.

Why?

Here:

This was from the last SC debate before the season started..

SENATOR JOHN KERRY
George, I said at the time I would have preferred if we had given diplomacy a greater opportunity, but I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein,and when the President made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him.

Today Kerry says Bush was totally wrong to rush to war.

Now who's waffling?

[Renew Deal]

1. The rest get a C? Did you see a guy named Kucinich?

He aced it.

[Hawkeye-X]

4. No.

Kooch gets a C+. That's all he gets.. He blew on some things...

Hawkeye-X

[diamondsoul]

14. but you back the assertion with nothing.

Yes indeedy f*ck Dennis Kucinich. He sucks!:eyes:

[Catholic Sensation]

20. once I again, I ask

have you ever seen his other posts on the subject of the primaries? Expecting him to exhibit any kind of objectivity towards the other candidates is like expecting NewsMax to be honest about anything.

[funkyflathead]

2. Kerry is not unwavering in his postion on the war unlike......

Dean, Kucinich and Lieberman.

[Joe the Revelator]

3. How could you give Dean a B+

he went negative and got shot down both times.


Clark,Dk, Sharpton-B

Kerry Dean-C

Edwards C-


Liberman R

[Hawkeye-X]

5. Not in my view

but it's a important start to show that Dean is not afraid to fight back.

Hawkeye-X

[Catholic Sensation]

6. Have you seen his previous posts about Dean?

I'm surprised it was only a B+.

From what I heard and read:

Sharpton/Kucinich - A
Clark - B
Kerry/Edwards/Dean - C
Lieberman - His grade is so low I have to send him back to the second grade

[MuseRider]

9. Lieberman R

It took me a moment but that is really funny. Thanks.

Kerry-B- was good, but put on defense several times

18. For an objective grade please look here

DK A
AS A
WC B
JE B
JK C+
HD D
JL N/S

I graded Dean a D because his attacks will not go well in the south. Southerners don't like attacks and in your face stuff. I blame his debate preparation, his message needs to be tailored for the culture of the home audience.

Taking Kerry head on was not good strategy.

[fluffyslayer]

21. Mine

A - Kucinich, Sharpton
B - Clark, Dean, Edwards
C - Kerry
D - Tom Brokaw
F - Lieberman

[OKNancy]

22. Mine..I'm really going to try to be objective

Clark - A
Kerry,Dean,DK ( because of the healing hands)- A-
Edwards- B
Lieberman - D
----
No Sharpton because he is not a serious candidate.
