I Slept-On-It And I Changed My Mind
In my eagerness to hurry up and have the party rally around ONE final candidate, I had earlier thought that we could speed that process along by excluding Kucinich and Sharpton from any other debates. I was wrong.

Although excluding them would have the effect of speeding along the rallying process, it's still wrong. No matter what my personal opinions are about their candidacies, and no matter what the actual chances of their getting the nomination... it's still wrong to exclude them from the process.

We'll get there soon enough.

-- Allen

Glad you re-thought your stance. There is no need for unseemly haste. :)

2. Thanks.
I was surprised yesterday when you took that position. We all have our opinions and ideas but I hate to see them include silencing parts of our party. Thanks.

4. Sometimes I suffer from impatience myself.
There I times I wish we had our candidate so the full frontal assault on the chimp can begin but then I come to my senses and realize that all of our candidates are doing just that and their voices should be heard. After all, the more voices we have, the more powerful we are.

I sympathize with your thought process entirely!

7. Good for you.
While I may not agree with DK on everything, I think he has important views that don't get a lot of exposure in our corporate dominated media -- and the debates are one of the few places where they can be heard.

And Sharpton -- I'd really miss him... did you see him at the last one? That was good.
