Edwards wants Sharpton, Kucinich out of debate

THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Since former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean ended his presidential run, Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina sees only two viable Democratic Party candidates and wants at least one debate without the Rev. Al Sharpton and Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich of Ohio.
Mr. Edwards said the two front-runners — Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and himself — should have a one-on-one debate before the Super Tuesday primaries on March 2.
Donna Brazile, head of the Democratic National Committee's Voting Rights Institute, agreed, adding that the top candidates should have a chance to face off during Thursday's debate sponsored by CNN and the Los Angeles Times.
"It's probably too much to get them to move aside and allow us to see a one-on-one debate between the two viable contenders," Ms. Brazile said. "Sharpton and Kucinich have been great participants in all the debates, but this is the playoffs."
Absolutely. At least keep Kucinich in until after the alien had burst out of his chest.

Posted by Mr.Murder at February 21, 2004 04:39 PMHow is Bush giving "aliens" a chance to vote? You have to be a citizen to vote and the one thing the guest worker program doesn't do is give immigrants in it a path to citizenship.
