Reply #7: Democrats have been guilty of this one ...FOREVER..

[SoCalDem]

I call it the .."We're Gonna"....

They always seem to use what precious little air time they get, by either attacking each other or announcing to the world what particular strategy they plan next..

There is a time and a place for all of this, but it is most assuredly ...NOT in front of a reporter or a camera..

McAuliffe has to be the owrst leader that ever existed..

As soon as the slate of candidates was set, he should have called them ALL into a PRIVATE pow-wow, and laid the law down..

1. No attacking each other.. if you cannot differentiate YOUR programs and ideas from the others in a convincing way, maybe you are not ready to run for president..

2. No divulging YOUR or any OTHER candidate's plans..

Just tell people where YOU stand on all the issues , adn let them decide who is best for the job..

EVERY nasty thing that they have said will be in commercial form, during the general election.. I can see it now..

Let's say that Dean is the candidate:

cue commercial... "Even John Kerry says that Dean is a big fat liar...on ??/??/03 , he said .."....... .... ..."..

Bradley was responsible for the "Al Gore is a liar" stuff..

They should have never agreed to the funky "debates" either.. They are stupid, lame, and serve no purpose ..

They should have presented themselves in 15 minute speeches, uninterrupted.. where they could lay out complete thoughts, and tell us what they believe..

These faux debates are nothing but soundbyte generators..and a vehicle for the "moderators" to get their mugs on tv.

Shame on McAuliffe...Shame on them too
