Is Sharpton going to be in the NH debate tomorrow?
I think he should've dropped out already.

1. Too soon for Sharpton to drop out.
He adds too much to the debate so I'd hate to see that.

2. How to shut up Sharpton...
As soon as Sharpton starts to talk during the debate, one of the candidates needs to clear his throat by saying:

(cough)Tawana Brawley(cough)



It's an embarrassment to have this criminal in our primary process. Might as well get LaRouche and Traficant up there as well.

4. I hope not.
He's a demagogue. Always has been. He's never been a serious candidate.

7. Too bad
As an uncommitted voter with a primary in less than two weeks, I'd like to hear more from the four contenders.

No offense to AS or DK or JL, but they just aren't factors in the race. They've all had ample opportunity to make their case in earlier debates, and they have done so clearly, sometimes eloquently. I'm not saying they should withdraw from the race, but unless they can demonstrate some level of support that would make them a possible contender, they should leave the debates to those with a chance.


This is serious business, choosing the potential leader of the world's richest and most powerful country. There comes a time when it is no longer appropriate to use the race as a soapbox only.
