Well like many of us, I hadn't been paying attention to Sharpton all this time but his performance at the Detroit debate really caught my attention.
He really seemed to speak credibly and passionately about the issues and I found myself agreeing with him nearly all night. The cheers he was getting from the crowd showed that I was not alone.
Most of the posters on the debate thread agreed that he won the debate hands down and the latest Newsweek National poll has him tied with Gephardt and Kerry.
So, given all that - exactly why can't he be the nominee?
