sharpton is the least despicable candiate yet from either party. the fact that he prefers to express is feelings rather than be tactful on controversial subjects gets him more enemies than the common fence siting pol, but it makes him more honest too. Tawana Brawley is his only real negative (the rest seem to be mischaracterizations floated out by the press back when they were still in love w/ jesse jackson) - & that was in '88 (before mccain's S&L crap became public & was subsequently forgiven & forgotten) and his only real fault was that he believed a liar. he's got no constituency in NH, though, so he is doomed to fail
