Joan Walsh on the last Democratic primary debate and the candidates' missed opportunities.
  • long overtaken by events, Joan

    Do keep up, please. This is stale.

    First off, you only wish Barack had stumbled. He didn't, dear, he held his own pretty damn good. A lesser person would have been goaded into reacting irrationally to the knife twists from "the press" and his supposed fellow Democrat, he didn't.

    Barack remained classy, dignified and smart, as he was interrogated by lousy "journalists" trying mightily, along with your candidate, to attack his character by association. Filth upon filth made not a dent, zero.

    He came out of that trap holding his head high, and went on to hammer his message home, after brushing the filth off of him. Americans are rallying around him (Philly last night?), recoiling at his opponent and the media.

    No Joan, no stumble. Watch and learn. Barack emerged from that disgusting show of media corruption with his dignity intact, and - based on polls, Joan - even MORE respect from the American people. His candidacy is stronger for it.

    Worry about how that sorry display of a debate, and the rest of her pathetic machinations affect how voters perceive YOUR candidate, Joan.
