1. Probably the sharpest wit and best debater in the group!

Underrated candidate who, while he may not win, brings a lot to the race and makes our party stronger!

[Mairead]

4. Right on!

I wish he were mounting more than an 'issues visibility' campaign, because I agree he is underrated. I really hope he can use this exposure to reach a major elected office. He's young, so with luck he still has time.

6. If he had more experience

I would have NO problem voting for him, none. He is fabulous and has an amazing heart along with his quick wit.

11. Gives me goosebumps

the way this man electrifies the crowd whoever wins I demand that he makes it into the cabinet. His COURAGE to speak out for Real people is commendable. I would like to see him as the Secretary of State.

2. Wow

Sharpton just slipped into 3rd. This night is going to be VERY interesting.

[MuseRider]

3. Great speaker.

I have come to love this guy. Go Al! We need you in this thing.

[curse10]

5. Sharpton is doing really well tonight!

3rd in SC is great!

[loudnclear]

7. Stay, Al, stay!!! We need you to keep the others focused on our real

concerns. Without you, they can marginalize the working poor, poor whites and poor minorities. We know why you are in the campaign and we appreciate you!!!

[spooky3]

8. No one can capture a crowd and get to the heart of the matter

like Rev. Sharpton!

24. If not President, absolutely among the President's staff

This is not the end of his political career...If Sharpton can't get the nomination, then seriously considered for a staff post.

[Darranar]

9. Go AL SHARPTON!

This is amazing!

[corporatewhore]

10. Wouldnt mind it if sharpton got the ticket

12. We need Sharpton's wisdom! Keep up the good work!

It is so important that no one drops out of this primary season, until the Convention. The more candidates which remain in, the more the debates will be covered, the more the media will cover each primary election in each state and it is working. We are getting our message across to most Americans! The Republican Primary in NH, 15% of them did NOT vote for Bush. The majority of them wrote in one of our Democratic candidates names. This is the good news! Support all of your opponents supporters to vote their choice and keep this process going until the Convention! For the good of America!

The media is calling for candidates to drop out. It is expensive for them to cover all of this. But, this is free advertising for our party! If it is only one person, we won't be getting this coverage and Bush will get more of it.

Remember that every delegate which we get, means we have some input into the party platform and the choice for Vice President.

Tell all of your friends and your opponents to keep everyone in!

13. Go Al!

Sharpton has the message and the mind and the voice and the heart.

We all need him to stay in and keep showing up at the debates.

To hell with the NY Times and those who want to silence him!

Go Al!

14. Did you hear Al the other day

when he said he would stay in the race if he had to walk all the way to Boston?

I hope he meant that...I think his voice is SO important. What he has to say needs to be heard.

15. Beating Clark in MO

Still low percentages reporting (3%), but the Rev. is beating the General. Pretty impressive if'n ya ask me!

[mvd]

16. Congrats on his good South Carolina showing

And I'm glad he keeps giving it to Bush - his statements like Bush doesn't even think he needs votes are great! He says things that none of the others have said.

17. Looks like Sharpton will get a district delegate in DE

According to CNN.com

[hedgetrimmer]

19. I'm really stoked Al's got a Delegate.

[minkyboodle]

20. Go Al!!!!!!

From a Kucinich supporter I say Slap the Donkey Al!!!!!!!!
Scott

[curse10]

21. That's so cool!

In Delaware! Of all places!

[Iverson]

27. this despite the NYT calling for his exclusion

It is most gratifying that he should get a delegate right after the "paper of record" wishes him not to be recorded anymore.

[juajen]

18. My regards to the charming Al Sharpton and his supporters

He added tremendously to this campaign. I hope he stays in just so we can still enjoy this race. He's been great, and has a "ton of Sharp."

[Feanorcurufinwe]

22. Congrats Al and supporters on winning a delegate in DE!

[dawn]

23. Al did great in SC and I'm so glad he got a delegate in Delaware!

I hope he stays in. I love watching his speeches!

[Laughing Mirror]

25. Way to go Reverend, You are our voice

And what a wonderful voice you have. You have always been there for us and with us and we will always be there with you.

[Dutch]

26. A fine man - and still bringing a lot to this debate.

As the old saying goes, "f*ck those lying whores at the NY Times".
