Reply #11: Very Smart Move

[DrFunkenstein]

Considering Kerry would steamroll Dean if he was given the chance. Dean is much better with monologues and quick soundbites than a sustained discussion. Tim Russert mopped the floor with him, and he was just playing tough journalist. Could you imagine if someone could actually respond at length?

I agree that Trippi absolutely did the politically right move. Bush delayed the debates in 2000 to do his homework - and he almost won the election! I think Dean should be given the same chance.

"I just wish he had given me a chance to respond to all that stuff — the zero experience on foreign affairs, the NRA stuff, the tax cut stuff," Dean said.

"I would have liked to have responded to that in person," Dean said, relishing the thought of getting mouthy with Kerry.
