1. No
Not if you exclude simply calling out policy differences. I'd limit the term attack to:

1) obvious misstatements
2) anything impugning character or judgment

2. Yes, with the possible exception of CMB
She seems to stay either a bit above or aside from the fray.

3. I don't remember any combat between Kucinich and Braun

I think those two campaigns are on good terms... probably sent each other cheese crocks for the holidays

8. It depends. Technically yes.
I mean they have all corrected eachother. Even CMB and Kucinich. They have not all attacked everyone of the others. For example DK has not attacked Sharpton. DK has attacked Dean. CMB has "attacked" someone but nothing major. So it depends.

11. Personal attacks have certainly been far more frequent
from some candidates than from others. While I don't think this campaign has been particularly vicious (no more so than average), there's way too much negativity for me. I'm disappointed.

12. I'm disappointed, too, but...
... I'm frankly not a member of the 'sit there and take it' school of thought. Oh, well. :hi:

13. 84% 'yes' or 'it depends...' as of 2:40 p.m., CST
Why am I not surprised? :)

19. You are correct, John.
Is the reason for the singular focus on Gov. Dean (to the exclusion of the other candidates) the fact that he is the front runner, do you think? :shrug:
