Gergen, Schneider doing "analysis" of Dem debate on Larry KING...NOW

[Gloria]

eom

Schneider: Clark took some hits..Lieberman really went after him..

Gergen: no clear winner, they went after Gen'l Clark...no longer has the luster he had before....etc

[Cush]

1. figured

they would bash Clark.....CNN seems to be in favor of Dean

[Gloria]

2. Lieberman, Kerry came alive....Gephardt best debater because

he was only one to defend Clinton record and lots of voters want to go back to Clinton...

Gergen says Clinton will be showcased as things go on.....

3. I'm sure they'll find conclusively

that all the candidates are losers, and none of them stand a chance against Bush. :)

4. They're ignoring Edwards...Bastards!

Typical :shrug:

8. Yes, I thought it was unfair that they ignored Edwards. I don't like him

but it was unfair. He did pretty well, unless like me you live in NC and know what he's about. I don't mean to be unkind about him....but Edwards is for himself. His constituents were not important to him on his "road to the Presidency." But, I understand how attractive he can be. I voted for him in his Senatorial bid agains our RW Repug. Senator he replaced.

We had such high hopes for him at that time. But, he seemed to be more interested in the WH than working for NC and he trashed those of us who were against Iraq and has never acknowledged us. I have many "form" letters from him in reply to sincere letters asking about his vote and other issues he's voted more with Bush on than against. But, I understand that many do see him as very charismatic as I once did. sorry. :-(

5. Gergen--debates not helping them in country at large...speaking

"metallically" --rote answers...not connecting with voters...it's a problem..

Schneider on the question about "hating America" --said he was thinking why can't they don what CLinton did...very few can...

Gergen--students at Ole Miss..conservatives..watched last debate with them...they really like Howard Dean....

Kerry--best line about Limgaugh's housekeeper/drugs

Schneider--Gep best in debate because he knows what Dems should run on.
Organization isn't as good, doesn't connect at state level

Gergen--mistake to rule him out..He's doing well in Iowa

[Gloria]

6. Yup, no mention of Edwards AT ALL...now onto KOBE....that

lasted about 6 minutes....

Kucinich and Braun are being carried along, getting recognition from the debates, aren't spending any money

Gergen says Sharpton has humor, which is needed and it's great to have two African American candidates..

I thought Edwards did very well. I thought Judy was a bitchy little thing....UGH

[KoKo]

9. Judy Woodruff should "take a hike." She is totally annoying! What

happened to her? She seemed to change in the last year. And, she gets thinner and thinner. Starting to look like Maria! Is it that they are trying to look like teenagers? She makes my skin crawl with her "above it all" attitude.

The confidence these "Media Folks" have is unbelievable. Well, their salaries are now us there with the Corporate Execs, so I guess everyone else is dust under their feet. :-(

7. You had to look hard to find fairness, it was there, EXCEPT Gephardt!

I agreed with "most" of their conclusions, but leaving Kucinich out was unfair. He doesn't get any coverage but I've seen his individual speeches, and he really has something to say and he's gotten really good at expressing his views.

How they could say that Gephardt, that DLC Washington Insider, WON is beyond me! He didn't even answer the small business owner's question correctly. She doesn't pay health insurance. I knew that when she said she had a restaurant. I don't think any of them got what her question was. They didn't know......that was NOT good.

But, I did like that it's the first time they admitted that Clinton is looking better in "hindsight" and that if Auh-nold could get elected with his record then Clinton/Monica will pale by comparison. Also, they seemed to get great delight in Kerry's Limbaugh joke, which lead me to believe that even the "Media Whore's"are sick of Pigboy's Act.

But,k their analysis was cut short by Kobe, Kobe, Kobe.....so I turned it off. It's revolting the coverage of that....sickening!
