Reply #4: What a waste of time - I want my hour back.

The only thing that stood out was Harris - and only because she wouldn't stay behind her podium. What the heck was that all about? Wasn't that strange? Made her appear overly aggressive, defensive, and inexperienced.

Dumbest mistake-
Taunting Nelson with accepting the illegal Riscorp campaign contribution - Did she conveniently forget the more than $20,000 they illegally bundled for her campaign, too? It's been brought up so many times, she had to know that 'got ya!' was going nowhere.

As you mentioned, mouthing prepared lines - Iraq, 'cut and run' and 'defeat is not an option'. North Korea, 'put them on notice' and 'all options on the table'. Not saying anything, just throwing out words.

Best question-
Asking Senator Nelson about voting contrary to party lines, I think she said it was 25%? of the time. The man is no liberal, that's for sure.

Best answer-
Undoubtedly Nelson's major score with, "You can't drill your way out of the problem, so you have to go to the alternative sources."

All in all, a waste of time. Krazy Kat didn't melt down and Nelson didn't get struck with a Paul Wellstone stick.

Did you stick with it to the end? Harris dashed off the stage while Senator Nelson graciously shook hands and thanked everyone. Then she reappeared to do the same like someone backstage had shoved her back out there. That was truly weird.
