One of the most memorable moments of the debate came when reverand Al Sharpton attacked Governor Howard Dean for not having any minorities in his cabinet as governor. The issue over civil rights was a hot button that had at least one candidate on the defense. Jennifer Miller has more.

"No one has taken into consideration about the limited and I do mean limited parking for 18 wheelers The worst state is Virginia cause of the 2 hour limit in rest areas for 18 wheelers but for 4 wheelers there is no limit. The cars you see in the rest area are out vacationing, staying in motel rooms. You have a minimum of 50 parking spaces for cars as to where you only got 10 for trucks. Where can you park (without getting a ticket) to sleep?"
A story we did on the ownership change related to the proposed methadone clinic in Roanoke referred to "the black community", as did part of our interview with a leading clinic opponent, Jeff Artis.
A viewer from Lexington (Ken Falk) objects to that characterization.
"In my opinion, it is racist to refer to a group or area as "black", and perhaps it's illegal (although I notice that most TV newscasts make a point of referring to "black" vs "white"). The TV media would do well to set the right example. It is your responsibility to your public."
