Awesome debate: No one took up Kucinich's challenge

[genius]

Kucinich asked the candidates to let the union audience know where they stood on the issue of repealing NAFTA and the W.T.O. NOT ONE took up the challenge.

Kucinich came across as strong, decisive, a real leader. He presented real plans for helping the workers of America.

Dean said he was not for a Social Security retirement age of 65, 68 or 70. One person viewing the debate with me jumped up and asked if he wanted the benfits to start at 80?

The audience I saw the debate with consisted of individuals ranging from pre-voting to Senior Citizens. The general reaction was that Kucinich was the clear winner. Moseley-braun also came off very well.

Sharpton was good except that he had not done his homework on "No Child Left Behind." Kerry and Edwards did fairly well. They had to explain around their voting record. Edwards kept reminding people of his blue collar roots. He pointed out to the audience that his and Kucinich's records were the best on labor issues.

Dean seemed a little out of it. Lieberman and Graham did about the best they could for a union audience.
