Put your ideas here, and later I'll do a poll with the top choices.

1. Dennis beating down Ted Craphole
and getting an ovation for it. The only thing about this miserable primary season that put a smile on my face! :)

9. Second that
Treating a serious issue with the seriousness it deserves.

I'll never really enjoy the entertainment as politics stuff.

4. When Clark told the Faux guy to stop twisting his words
and when John Kerry said:

“I'd like to know what it is Republicans who didn't serve in Vietnam have against those of us who did."

It is great to see Dems fight back against the repug mean machine

5. For me...
...it was the moment that Dean said that he would not have hesitated to support the war if the UN had given us "permission." That's when I knew that he would never be President of the United States.

6. When John Kerry won Iowa
That was the big Oh Shit moment for us in a rival campaign. Dean we could handle. Kerry, no.

14. as a Kerry supporter I agree that was the biggest moment
He won it decisively and it changed eveything.

8. General Clark entering the race.
Without a doubt, General Clark entering the race and shaking up the media attention given to the race for the Democratic Nomination.

10. Well, it's pretty personal
It depends on who your guy is/was, too.

For me:

1) Clark entering the race :party:
2) Kerry winning Iowa :shrug:
3) Clark leaving the race :cry:

And 2 and 3 are very entwined.

11. No One's Mentioned the Scream Yet?
Not the most enlightening moment, but one which will be remembered decades from now.

13. It's funny
I didn't even think about it till you mentioned it, heh.

Like I said, it's going to be pretty subjective.

12. I hate to bring it up
but "The Scream. . . ."

I was watching it live, and thinking - uh-oh this is not going to go over well.
