Welcome john, new bie here too within the last few days.

Dean/Gephardt- don't see it, they hate each other as you say, plus Gephardt is all in on this deal.  he isn't running for the House and has always had to play 2d fiddle to everyone.  2d to Foley and then Foley gets beat and he has his chance at Speaker but Dems losepower for first time in 40 years, what luck.  Then he was stuck as minority leader for the rest of the 90's and never could get to be Speaker so went all in for Prez.

lots of it going both ways.  Dean has been propping up Edwards lately too and Harkin did the same for Edwards the other day too.

Edwards is toast.  I do hope he wins SC though and keeps slogging it out with Dean, Clarka nd whoeve ris left, spend that money folks!

Gore wasn't really seen as a southerner, nor did he come across as one.  NC is far more conservative than Arkansas and Louisiana, so Edwards, with SOUTHERN appeal that Gore did not have, will have a better shot at ARK and LA.

Dean is very questionable on race and black turnout.  He got slammed by Sharpton!  Al sharpton, the guys out there and Dean couldn't beat him on the point.  Sharpton , plus confederate flag comments.

Edwards and Clark would be stronger on the issue of race, esp edwards.

Do you think Dean/Clark/Edwards or some combination of the three could get as good black turnout as Gore did?

But Al was only right on a small point and Dean looked like he was caving completely.  

Thanks to Sharpton Dean won't be able to.

I loved the look on Deans face when he had to admit that Big Al was right.

Yep!

But dean should have said I hired the best people available in my state!  No we do not have a lazrge black and brown population to draw from and ont he Presidential level as I have done in this race I have found good people of color to help me.  Would have been a home run of an answer!

But instead he struck out to Al sharpton.

Sharpton is a destructive sideshow.
