In Which NTodd Says His Peace
Dem Debate
One of my favorite moments from today's debate in Iowa was when each candidate got a chance to ask another a question. While most predictably directed their questions to Dean, he asked a question of the entire field:
DEAN: I will vigorously support the nominee of the Democratic Party. And I will vigorously encourage all my supporters to do the same. I will campaign for the Democratic nominee of this party, should it not be me. And I'd like to find out who on this stage agrees that they will pledge to vigorously support the Democratic nominee.
(LAUGHTER)
[all candidates raised their hands]
(APPLAUSE)
...
[Moderator Paul] ANGER: Well, you're a consensus builder, Governor Dean.
Now everybody's on record, and I think Dean deftly deflated another stupid meme.
