    A "donnybrook"?

    That term smacks of the silly hyperbole CNN and other MSM sources have used to describe previous Clinton-Obama differences of opinion. The Daily Show has justly skewered this kind of cheesy sensationalizing. Let's be real: this was a spirited discussion, livelier and more personal that the previous often tedious "debates," largely because of the reduced number of candidates and the more appealing format.
