Joan Walsh on the last Democratic primary debate and the candidates' missed opportunities.
  • Yes

    His stumble(s) will hurt him. His performance demonstrated the difficulty he has when he is challenged: he doesn't like it, he feels as if he is above it, and is entitled to be treated as if he were special and not a politician. In fact, he IS a politician, and the Republicans are going to be much harder on him. If he doesn't answer these questions about Wright, Ayers, Rezko, and "bitter" very well right now, they are going to continue to dog him until he does, period. What does he expect world leaders to do if he does win the White House? Fall over themselves in praise of him? Agree with everything he says and does? And what if they don't? Will he flip them off, too?

    As far as Hillary's comment on Bosnia, you might take a look at Straight Shooting in Tuzla, a 4/1 op-ed in the NY Times, which explained exactly what happened in Bosnia. Then, you might more clearly understand her response during the debate.

    Thanks for your thoughts.
