... from his campaign's talking points as of the last couple days (Bill Ayers, etc.) I still haven't finished my beer. If it weren't for "My friends," I'd still be completely sober.
But not "taking the gloves off" as he'd promised still didn't win him this debate, even in the town hall format he so famously favors.
If he's determined to have definitively lost this one, this could be the beginning of the end for his campaign.
He managed to be less visibly hostile than in the first debate, yet still came out with lines (like calling Obama "That one") that made him look boorish, if not vaguely racist.
Obama, for his part, answered well and looked more presidential than ever. IMO his only missteps involved consistently talking longer than necessary despite the time limits and thus contributing to Tom Brokaw's despair. When he told Tom he was doing a great job or whatever, it really did echo the "You're likable enough, Hillary" moment.
In fact, all in all, I think Tom Brokaw had the toughest night, what with everyone ignoring his red lights and even blocking his teleprompter view at the end with their awkward handshake.
