Viewers of last week’s democratic debate in Las Vegas, Nev. might be forgiven for thinking that they were witnessing a large pep rally. The show featured everything from a birthday wish to Bill Richardson (D-N.M.) from an audience member to a plea for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney from Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio). Unfortunately, only those who tuned in for the second half of the show led by audience-members—and not journalists—were treated to a worthwhile debate. The event kicked off with the usual Sen.

Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) wondered at the timing. "Three weeks before election seems to be an odd time to be authorizing war."

...presidential candidates race across the country from Iowa to New Hampshire, liberal maverick Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) stopped in Cambridge on Friday to lay out his position on issues ranging from global warming to the war in Iraq. Kucinich, who failed to win the 2004 Democratic nomination, spoke in the Kirkland House Junior Common Room as part of the Harvard Democrats’ ongoing effort to bring every major Democratic presidential candidate to campus. The hour-long question-and-answer session dealt primarily with global warming, the legitimacy of the U.S. electoral process, and the war in Iraq...
