4. ABC said that their criteria was that a candidate had to be polling

5% or greater in some poll somewhere and/or have finished in the top 4 in Iowa.

7. Though I missed Dennis, the four candidates had more time to shine or

flame out.

Our candidates did greats. Richardson was smart and funny. He showed a fearlessness. Hillary showed some humanity while staying strong. She showed a firm grasp of reality. Edwards stayed on message and really hit the populist message out of the park. Obama did what he needed to do. He took some hits, but most importantly, none of the hits were self inflicted. That's what he needed to do.

Edwards helped Obama, Richardson Helped Hillary. Smart moves.

5. Apparently ABC based participation on Iowa results. Kucinich,

of all active primary candidates, didn't pick up a delegate there, so they made the call to exclude him.

iirc

6. So they basically make this (the rulez) up as they go along.....

and they run the 'polls' too?!?!?!

But, but, but ..... it doesn't reflect what *I* (and a lot of other people) want!!!

What should one think of that?
