Gephardt-Dean Deadlocked in Iowa!Dean questioned for no minority appointees to his cabinet over a 12 year period by Sharpton!
Dean-Gephardt in deadlock
Recent polling showed Dean and Gephardt in a close race in the state of Iowa, with Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Edwards trailing. The outcome will begin the winnowing process in the race for the nomination. Dean hopes for a win to validate his claim as campaign front-runner. Gephardt’s aides say he must win. Kerry and Edwards hope for strong finishes to sustain their campaigns in New Hampshire, whose primary follows Iowa by eight days.
The two-hour debate was billed as the Iowa Brown and Black Presidential Forum, designed to focus the contenders on issues of concern to minorities, and Sharpton’s aggressive questioning of Dean accomplished that.
“You keep talking about race,” the former street activist chided Dean when he had a turn to ask a question. He said that not one “black or brown held a senior position, not one...It seems as though you’ve discovered blacks and browns in this campaign,” he said.
Dean bristled at that and said it was untrue. He said he had had “senior members” of his staff who were minorities, but Sharpton cut him off and said he was asking about his Cabinet, which has fewer members.
“No, we did not,” conceded Dean, whose state has a population that is nearly 98 percent white.
