So who thought Gravel was the most honest and genuine of the bunch?

[Wiley50]

I didn't ask if you thought he was a crusty old curmugeon.
That's beside the point

Did he tell the truth as we see it?

[valerief]

1. Gravel is beating up Tweety. nt

[AlCzervik]

2. he's about to hand Tweety his ass.

[ecstatic]

3. He's crossing the line right now

Bad talking the Dems.

Tweety wants to know why the Dems don't stand up to Bush. Um... Hello? The MSM (Tweety included) would tear them apart, that's why.

[MedleyMisty]

12. So?

Why should they shake in their boots because some Repub might call them liberal or something? Showing weakness and fear is not the way to fight bullies.

[Beetwasher]

4. I Found Him The Most Candid And Genuine

If he seemed passionate it's because he realizes the urgency of the situation that this country finds itself in. This country IS in crisis and he seems fed up w/ the politicians speaking euphamistically and in circumlocutions. He was honest and straightforward and didn't hide his emotional tenor.

If your house was on fire, would you calm walk around explaining that you had "A combustion situation in your domicile that might need immediate attention"?

[GaYellowDawg]

5. I did.

Gravel was pissed off about our country's direction, and he was by-God going to let everyone know about it. I found it very refreshing.

[Alleycat]

6. Sounded angry and pissed off the entire time to me

[HCE SuiGeneris]

16. Kind of how I feel every time I see the crap that

is perpetuated by the current cabal.

[mvd]

7. He seemed the most un-politician

Kind of like Stockdale with a better grasp of the issues. I didn't know what he was like, and he got my attention quickly.

[Desertrose]

8. He at least had the guts to say things that needed sayin'

Made Kucinich's previous debates sound much less strident.

Can only help DK IMO.

[Maru Kitteh]

9. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED HIM.

I coughed up some cash too. I'd LOVE to see more.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

10. he gave the debate a pulse

[FrenchieCat]

11. He's the least politically calculated........

I find nothing wrong with that. And his candor (and Kucinich) just tends to make the other Dems look cautious and timid.

[IDemo]

13. I would go with Gravel or Kucinich right now

I would also go with Dennis's campaign adviser :loveya:

[WA98296]

14. I'm still watching (delayed) but so far I AGREE TOTALLY!

[w4rma]

15. off the bench? (nt)

[Ino]

17. I loved him

I wish the Dems in Congress would sound like that on the floor.

[H2O Man]

18. I did.

I thought it was a solid presentation on his part.
