Diamonds and Pearls for Hillary

[DemocratSinceBirth]

LAS VEGAS — The (rhymes with rich) is back.

In a Democratic debate here Thursday night, Hillary Clinton was not the passive, parsing, punching bag that she was at the last debate in Philadelphia two weeks ago.

She gave as good as she got. And those who tried to kick her stubbed their toes.

John Edwards got booed when he attacked her for taking money from Washington lobbyists — a charge he has made many times before — and seemed both surprised and irritated.

But when it came to a real stumble, Clinton left that to her chief opponent, Barack Obama.

1. "And her opponents laid both at her feet Thursday night."

I can't believe I missed this thing.

2. Things can really change in a couple of weeks.

The excitement factor of this election is definitely growing for me. The biased audience contributed to Clinton's air of confidence and buoyed her throughout the debate, and the negative responses from the audience when Obama and Edwards made their most direct attacks towards Hillary had to come as a complete surprise for them. It sure surpised me.

3. God, this makes me sick.

The excitement over a candidate's entertainment value, while the really important questions not only aren't being asked, they're being withheld from a dumbed-down electorate.

It's a right to the jaw! A left! (but not too left) And a knockout!!
