1. something like this
"I think clark disagreed somewhere with Kerry. That makes Clark a bad man, as we all know Kerry is our god and we wont get out heads out of his lap."

Yeah... something like that.

2. NPR said he sounded like
stream of consciousness talking points against bush, a little incoherent. I haven't heard or seen the other post debate opinions. The same NPR person said Edwards did good.

3. Listened to Tripi on
the Norvell show. Pretty upset. Still thinks Dean is great.

4. He didn't go Stephanopolous on Dean?
He still wants to get back together?

5. I can understand his position
I think he'll still push and help Dean on his own.

10. You're correct.
Buchanon said Clark was "sharp" on a couple of points. I'm pretty sure that's the word he used.. but he also said Kerry won.

8. I'm no pundit..
but I thought he was awesome. Way better than last week.

Then, of course, all the pundits on Hardballl said Kerry won. I thought Kerry stumbled.. he got booed for heaven's sake!

9. All I'm Hearing Is...
I'm doing scans of news/pundits. They are all saying the EXACT same thing right now (coincidence?). It goes something like this:

"These Dems were very tame tonight. Very gun-shy. Afraid to lay any gloves on anyone. Nobody really challenged anyone, so I would have to say that the clear winner of this debate was Kerry."

Seriously.

12. That's just..
what they've all been saying.

But Dean did lay the gloves on, and he did fine. He made Kerry look weak, and then Kerry made himself look worse with a dumb response. I saw it with my own eyes, heard it with my own ears.

11. Much improved
Though I don't think Clark needs to win SC, as long as he wins Oklahoma and one of the two southwestern states (NM and AZ).
