This debate is really weirding me out. Both Hillary and Obama are mostly attacking the Republicans, which is presenting them like allies. Now, don't get me wrong, I like that they are being (more or less) nice to each other, but we have to decide between them...don't we?
Last week's New Yorker article on the two of them by George Packer is pretty insightful, I think. It gets the tone of each campaign right on. Obama speaks and you float away on hope, inspired. Hillary is uber-practical, defensive, and full of pertinent facts.
Ooh Wolf just tried to call Hillary naive! He's been doing this all night, saying 'isn't that a swipe at you, Senator?'. Can we not make some real news out of this debate and its content rather than instigating fights?
