Yes, it is funny how, instead of going to church, or doing anything else appropriate to a Sunday morning, say, sleeping, there is a class of Americans who like those political talk-shows.  And for some reason, Tim Russert's "Meet the Press" seems to receive the highest praise -- from the DC press crew.  There are many ways of conducting interviews, and I agree with Matthew Yglesias that Russert's approach does no one much good, really, save the DC press crew.

The detail about CNN's Suzanne Malveaux, whom personally I like, is sad.  Clearly she muted an "intriguing open-ended" question, complying to the closed-minded categorization that the DC media recognize.

The debate itself I did not see.  And it is still too early for me to run the video with John Edwards on nuclear energy.  But this seems like a fair review, from the hometown paper:

Why in the world were there people still thinking afterwards that the race is between only Hillary and Obama, when John Edwards spoke so well?  Obama seems not to have said much of interest at all.

Chickens are our cousins! So are fish! So are other sentient animals! Let us learn to be kind.
