Charles Barkley is a perfect candidate for a populist Republican who gives the party a modern image that we need. Let's face it- Michael Savage isn't going to add anyone to the ranks with his angry, white male act. Barkely is a Republican, is well-known, is not shrill, has a cool persona, and speaks in the language that draws in ordinary folk. Probably a bad idea to have Savage show the ugly face of conservatism on TV while badmouthing ("shine my shoes"- i mean c'mon- that sounds bad given that Barkley is black) someone who could attract young voters and minorities. I know this is going to draw the wrath of Savage fans but that's how I see it.

Savage turns me off. He is crude and rude on his program. I agree on his main topics of language, culture and borders, but his manner does not help the cause.

Unfortunately, Mr. Barkley was clearly above his head in this debate.
