In Tuesday's debate on the University of New Hampshire campus, co-host and "Nightline" anchor Ted Koppel asked the Rev. Al Sharpton, Rep. Dennis Kucinich and former Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun how long they would remain in the race given their widely reported monetary woes and generally low standings in the polls. (Full story)
...
After joking that "I can't say I really counted on" Gore's endorsement during the debate, Kucinich remained true to his idealistic self afterward in boldly predicting a striking, swift uptick in his numbers.

As his campaign touted several supportive hoots he received from the audience, the liberal congressman from Ohio said he felt he had made a connection in the debate that will carry over in the coming weeks.

"Look at tonight, and it's clear I stand alone" on many key issues, Kucinich said in the post-debate "spin room."

"Voters are ready right now for my message. They just needed someone who can make a clear stand."
...
But just as Kucinich did, Sharpton also lashed out at the media and political system that he said stresses fund-raising totals and endorsements over substance.

1. These bus interviews Crossfire is doing

are very good. Edwards, on yesterday, was positively revealing in several ways.

And Crossfire remains the best political junkie program on air. They are keeping it fresh by changing the format every now and then.

Dennis is even better one-on-one and in small groups than he is onstage in a debate. And that's saying a lot, especially since I thought he won the other night.

2. I respect your opinion and everything, but...

I just have to say that Crossfire is just as $#&#*@ as the rest.

They don't allow for any fact-finding or follow ups, just ranting.

IMO their format just solidifies each camp into their own corner. Which (again, just IMO) is bad for Democracy in general.

3. I don't watch it

but . here's some positive coverage of your candidate.
Isn't that something to be glad about?
