Sharpton....Good To Have

While the "Key Players" who represent the Kerry/Edwards A team stay positive, put on the white hat (no pun intended) and deliver a hopeful message that does not involve slamming the bush administration directly and negatively, Al Sharpton comes out and deviates from his speech, ad libs and gives bush hell, much to the great delight of the delegates at the convention.

Because Sharpton did not garner any real substantive support in his Presidential bid he is rightly or wrongly, not considered a major player and therefore his comments and rhetoric do not rub off on the major players and can't hurt them. They are able to remain the "positive" good guys.

But boy he gets the point across doesn't he? It's nice to have someone to say the things that need saying without transferring the heat to the actual candidates. Sort of like a sharp trial lawyer getting his point across while instructing the jury to disregard the remarks.

Damn good politics wouldn't you say?

Of course looking at it that way sort of elevates Sharptons role and importance huh? Let's keep it to ourselves. We don't want anyone to catch on.
