Reply #17: Some Things To Consider

[DoveTurnedHawk]

1) IMO, this is BY FAR the harshest charge any candidate has leveled against any other candidate so far.

2) Al has received some of the best and warmest receptions at the debates, both from the crowd and here. Will all that change now? Will he now be dismissed as a "loon" or an attention-seeking opportunist by the same people who crowed about how awesome Al has been doing in the debates?

3) Al has a loyal following within the black community. Will these charges stick? Will the supporters of Al within the black community rally around Dean, if he is our nominee?

4) Why isn't support of race-based affirmative action as much of a litmus test for Democrats as, say, abortion or the Iraq war?
