How many of the stooges on that stage could tell you exactly what the Federal Reserve Chairman does.

I don't think any of them would have done much better than Sharpton. I wonder if the questions are prepared for specific candidates and if they had the purposeful intent of making Sharpton look foolish.

That was my thought as well. It's really a shame, because often it seems that Kucinich and Sharpton have put more thought into some of their positions than the others, but they're getting no media attention (except as the "class clowns") and going nowhere fast in the polls.

Not that I'd want either as president, mind you....

I would have been absolutely stunned if none of them could have answered better then Sharpton. These guys have people tutoring them on everything from facts (the liberal version at least) to how to dress to the issues.

Either Sharpton doesn't expect to be treated on serious policy issues, or he was just to damn lazy to learn some kind of basics about this stuff.

I thought Jennings asked to loaded but irrelevant questions. The question to Sharpton about the Fed.........knowing he'd have no clue and appear clueless and the question about Islam to Edwards. He wanted to hurt Edwards with that question, since there really is no answer other than, LAW ABIDING PEOPLE, NO MATTER THEIR RELIGION ARE TREATED FAIRLY, THOSE WHO WANT TO KILL US OUGHT TO BE HUNTED DOWN AND CAPTURED AND/OR KILLED.
