It was essentially a stall for time for the Dems (Witness Levin, Stabenow, Rockefeller and indie Bernie Sanders yay vote, or any of the others who voted nay on AUMF in Iraq.) and it allowed the chest thumpers to express their bellicosity on record. without any teeth.

The NIE was released and the stall tactic from the Dems worked. War was prevented and much gnashing of teeth came from those who wished to bomb Iran.

And as you well know Mike, Wes Clark started StopIranWar, he would never support a candidate who wished to do so.
Again, superb job, Mike.

In any case, everyone who is odious in US national life is promoting the Obamanation. This means McCain for me - if not an HRC write-in.

Might as well be hours and hours of missing white women. The following contains links to previous weeks coverage:

mimi, It’s a known fact that Russert and MSNBC HATE the Clintons. When I found out Russert would be moderating with Williams, I knew how the debate would go. Of course Hillary had to answer all the TOUGH questions first. Otherwise, Mr. Hope wouldn’t know what to say….we can’t have that. Can we? We wouldn’t want the sheeple/Mr. Hope worshipers to know the man really is just an empty suit, right?

Why didn’t Russert throw the Putin/Medvedev question at Mr. Hope first? I know why…because Mr. Hope would not have known who the hell Medvedev is and he would have been exposed for his lack of foreign policy knowledge. I also noticed that Mr. Hope, as usual, took HILLARY’S answer about Medvedev being hand-picked by Putin, but then went off on some tangent about what BUSH has done/hasn’t done with Putin and Russia, which had absolutely NOTHING to do with the Russert question. Did Russert try to get Mr. Hope to expound more on Putin/Medvedev??? HELL NO!

It is so obvious the MSM wants Mr. Hope to be the Democratic nominee so they can have the thrill of destroying him during the GE (for the GOP). There’s no way the Corporate owned MSM wants a Democratic President. They will take Mr. Hope down AFTER he’s the nominee…and not until. We all know they have a ton of garbage on the guy. They’re just saving it until they can get their guy, McCain, in the WH by using the garbage in the GE.

Also, can’t campaigns demand ground rules like, I answered first this debate so the next debate he should answer first???

I certainly hope that women will remember just how FAIR msnbc was during this primary. I’ve actually blocked it as it were a porn site. Actually, it is a porn site.

The post debate pundits didn’t seem to get the point. They thought she wasn’t connecting with this in some way.

She was saying in spite of being picked first more often, she’s willing to take the challenge and succeed with it. Then she proves it by doing it. It was an analogy of her whole platform.

C. Matthews in particular went on and on about how he couldn’t comprehend. Then went on about how cool it is the way Obama deflects attacks. I can hardly wait to see him “deflect” not only McCain, but Coulter, O’Reilly, Limbaugh, Swift-Boaters, etc.

It seemed perfectly obvious to me; after she plainly spelled it out. But then, apparantly I don’t think like most pundits, so what do I know?

The ‘pillow’ comment right after was priceless. Street-talk translation - she pussy-whipped him.

There is some indication that Mr. Obama is happy following his opponent.

In the previous debate, on CNN, the moderators said they selected one candidate at random and offered that candidate the choice of giving the first or second opening statement.

Mr. Obama won the draw, and he chose to speak after Mrs. Clinton.
