Hillary Clinton: Kerry in a pantsuit
Check out John Edwards' Hair's new attack video on Hillary: pretty darn effective if you ask me

Post Debate Mini-Extravaganza
A few quick thoughts on tonight's debate:
-The Notorious HRC was the target, as expected. John Edwards' Hair was once again an indicator of his attack plan--relatively consistent and pointy. He was a good offensive lineman for Obama, leading the way with the attacks and letting Barack chip in with a wisecrack and nod afterwards. The newly formed Obama/Edwards Tag Team did land a Killer Bee Stinger on Hillary at the end with that question on the Spitzer driver's licence plan though. Hillary for once just looked downright two faced and afraid to answer a question.
-Speaking of Obama, he looked downright Kerry-like when he stopped after every three words to make a severe looking hand gesture. I don't wanna see the Politics of Hope turn into the Politics of Barbaro.
-After convincing the security guards that he was not Rich Garces, but a Presidential candidate, Bill Richardson for some reason made it his personal business to play Drew Rosenhaus to Hillary Clinton's T.O. He went on Hardball 10 minutes after the debate to admonish the mean old other candidates for trying to win an election, telling them "Let's not get personal, we don't need that" and reminding us "I don't go into personal attacks." That's right Governer, you just go in for the buffet.
-Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't shake the feeling that Matthews and Williams were lobbing Obama softballs all night. And Matthews and Fineman are certainly giving him a lot of undeserved back slapping in the post debate show (you questioned the lady leading you by 20 points. Gold star!) The media definitely wants a race, and first woman vs. first black guy definitely plays better than first woman vs. another white dude.
-Finally, why the hell is Chris Matthews asking everybody about the stupid UFO question? He's aware that this debate was supposed to inform us on who to pick as the leader of the free world, right? At this point if you found out that he was just afraid of being discovered, having his Spitzer approved driver's license revoked and sent back to Mike Gravel's home planet, would you honestly be stunned?
More to come tomorrow...

Democratic Debate Fever...catch it?
Just when you thought the Democratic nomination for President was over, Barack Obama comes in with a stunner: He promises to promise that at some point in the future he may or may not get tough with Hillary. And with sharp rhetoric like "The notion...that we’re all holding hands and singing ‘Kumbaya’ is obviously not what I had in mind and not how I function," how could you not believe him?
Of course Obama joins John Edwards' Hair in protest of Clinton's early stranglehold on the nomination, with one obvious distinction (that Edwards acts like a real bitch about it, while Barack just promises to.) Edwards has been well conditioned for this kind of nasty politics, and he actually managed to whine his way to a very impressive debate last month up at Dartmouth. Lather, rinse and repeat and he should stave off obscurity for another few weeks.
As for the Notorious HRC? Expect her to continue be about as forthcoming as Alberto Gonzalez in a game of Mafia. It's worked pretty well for her so far. I just hope she doesn't use that line about liking to have all these men's attention, because...eww. The debates are painful enough to watch, I don't need the added image of her and Kucinich...you know what, let's move on.
Expect Joe Biden to accidentally do something unbelievably racist. Again. Expect Chris Dodd to intentionally do something unbelievably racist just to get attention. Because a good resume, finely tuned policy and a pretty well run campaign sure as hell haven't done the trick. Expect Bill Richardson to get held up by security, who can't believe that Horatio Sanz was invited to take the stage.
Joe Biden Arrives for the Debate in his Halloween Costume
And expect the Ghost of Mike Gravel to appear, just to remind us that 12 year olds should be able to vote and drink. And I say screw Obama's Politics of Hope--I prefer Gravel's politics of senility.
And check back in at Free Abramoff, where I'll be live blogging the fun starting at 9 pm. What else are you gonna watch? House?
Actually, now that you mention it...
