kind of fritzed out, i suppose. i agree with many: hillary did well. that thing about her enemies was good. i'm not sure how well bernie plays in the long run; he's pretty abrasive, kind of hectoring. but like a lot of people, i emerged from the debate slavishly devoted to lincoln chafee. it's like a cult out here.
9:40 bernie is improving; it'd be good if he could smile or something. this thing where climate change is our worst national security crisis is still horseshit, though.
9:27 actually, ww3 blooming in the middle east is going to end up swamping all other issues over the next few years. ps hillary, how in the world are we going to impose a no-fly zone on the russian airforce?
9:24 clinton makes a distinction between the putin regime and the medvedev presidency, which i guess is what she dealt with? she didn't underestimate putin, because he wasn't even in power, is her argument. it's pathetic.
9:20 common sense. common sense. they're like parrots. i think bernie may yell too much without sufficient dynamics. he needs to bring it down to conversational.
9:16 clinton is definitely scoring on bernie on guns. pretty direct.
9:13 webb is kind of bizarre on affirmative action, supporting it but only for african-americans? then he's all like 'poor white folks! my people!'
9:10 o'malley is just not going to be able to sell baltimore as a success story, for heaven's sake. it's insane.
8:57 but sanders is ok. it's true you can sort of picture clinton as potus.
8:54 i think o'malley is going nowhere.
8:43 never ever be the recording artist singing the national anthem before the democratic debate, right, cheryl crow? good heavens.
8:37 kevin spacey is famous stuff that sucks.
8:33 i wish it was wolf blitzer rather than anderson cooper, who's kind of vague and blank.
yes! i'll blog the debate. if i was watching anyone, it might be webb. but he doesn't seem to want to be president; i'm not sure why he's 'running.'
