The only way you can beat Jessie Jackson is to be as rude to him as he is to you. I doubt that J.C. would stoop to that level. Did Jessie even let him answer a question without constantly interrupting?
I used to follow J.C.'s career in the Congress, and watched him campaign for Dubya in this past election. I found him very impressive, though I have to admit that I didn't see the debate with the "Reverend" Jackson, so I'll take your word for his performance at that forum.
Yes, Jessie was being Jessie. However, I will admit Watts was extremley humble and seemed like a really nice guy.
