3. If he says, "Wesley Clark will be my running mate," how'd you react?

4. That only works if you are a "Nielson family".

They use the results of the Nielson families who have special boxes on their TV's to extrapolate a rating for the entire population. So having a whole bunch of non-Nielson families watching tonight won't make a bit of difference in the ratings because CNN can't tell who is watching and who is not.

6. here's an idea...

Right after the show, donate to Dean's campaign!

If we can get a large number of donations right after the airing, then that will send a message out.

10. King is being VERY nice to Dean

I've actually caught him softballing the delivery of several tough questions that could have been more agressive towards Dean.

14. King is the Emperor of the softball

He has never thrown a hardball in an interview ever.

12. "A Democrat who is not afraid to be a Democrat"

I am firmly committed to this candidate now. I believe there is no chance for any other candidate to defeat Bush and that this is the candidate the Repukes fear most because he has proven he is unafraid to stand up to Bush.

None of the glue soaked bullshit labels the Repukes have thrown squarely at Dean have been able to stick.

The fear is in the air. The Repukes know that 2004 is going to be close regardless of the candidate, but the reality for the Repukes is Dean could win in a landslide.
