The Democratic duel of the race
The debate in Philly: Edwards and Biden come out swinging, Obama sticks to smooth jazz, and Clinton stands tall but then stumbles.
By Walter Shapiro [2007-10-31]

  • Dems bring snakes, retreat into pop charms

    Hillary carried a great python, but did not let it strangle.

    Obama brought a cobra, but did not let it strike.

    Edwards toted a spitting rattlesnake, but it did not kill.

    Richardson, Dodd and Biden grabbed vipers from 711, but not any poison from 9/11.

    Kucinich and Gravel have no need of any circus snakes.

    H answered properly, but then backed into Pizza Hut, the secure cheesy place of candidate Denial.

    O chose not to fight, but unite... 80 million reasons to not leave his lovers.

    E played his smile-cards right, and then left too.

    R.D.B. fiddled in the orchestra with background cymbals, horns.

    K & G offered real entertainment, a sure bet for TV ratings.

    All in all, Master Debaters scored once again on the issue that most Dems feel strongly about: Stop the Inhumanity!

    And, paraphrasing a friend, "That's a GOOD thing."

    Well, Harry Potter fans, Hermione would think so, wouldn't she?
