1. I don't think that is very important. If Bush was elected after |
|
using cocaine, just by refusing to answer, nobody else should have any problem in getting elected because of cannabis.

3. Actually, they're more likely to get the youth vote if they DID smoke |
|
With the audience that debate was targeted at, they are more likely to be seen as someone the youth like both because they don't see marijuana use as a big deal, and because they are being honest about their answer.

2. Kerry, Edwards, and Dean. Dean first declined to answer. CMB declined. |

COOPER: All right, we are getting a lot of e-mail pouring in. Probably a predictable question just got asked. It is an e-mail from a viewer: 'Which of you are ready to admit to having used marijuana in the past?'
And they want us to go around and ask each of you.
Governor Dean?
DEAN: We'll all keep our hands down on this one.
(LAUGHTER)
COOPER: John -- Senator Kerry? Yes or no?
KERRY: Yes.
(APPLAUSE)
COOPER: Congressman Kucinich, yes or no?
(APPLAUSE)
KUCINICH: No, but I think it ought to be decriminalized.
(APPLAUSE)
COOPER: Reverend Sharpton?
SHARPTON: I grew up in the church. We didn't believe in that.
COOPER: OK. Senator Edwards?
EDWARDS: Yes.
(APPLAUSE)
COOPER: Senator Lieberman?
(APPLAUSE)
LIEBERMAN: Well, you know, I have a reputation for giving unpopular answers in Democratic debates. I never used marijuana, sorry.
COOPER: General Clark?
CLARK: Never used it.
COOPER: Ambassador Braun?
MOSELEY BRAUN: I'm not going to answer.
(LAUGHTER)
(APPLAUSE)
COOPER: And Governor Dean?
DEAN: Yes.
COOPER: Yes, all right.
