Political Roundtable: News, Opinion and Commentary
My Top 3

If I’d been standing at Hillary’s podium last night, I might well have blown it with . Even a hint of anger would be enough to bring a woman down. You know how emotional we women are. The media would have loved that. But already the media is loving the fun they’re having with Hillary. It’s almost as much fun as they had with Howard Dean.

One thing I learned from last night’s ‘debate’ — I need to pay as much attention to the moderators as I do to the candidates. Alegre over at dkos and Taylor Marsh did that

Russert’s penchantall boys pannels on “Meet the Press,”

Tim Russert sure didn’t think to quiz Obama about his rough week with the Audacity of Homophobia. And why do I think Russert would have shown no mercy to Hillary if she’d been the one caught traveling with a known homophobe?

In my view, the lowest blow of the night was when Edwards and Obama (and I think Mike Dodd joined in too) repeated the Republicans’ favorite Hillary talking point, the one about how Hillary is the GOP’s dream candidate — the one and only candidate that they can easily beat.

Because Giuliani is trembling in his boots over the prospect of debating Obama.

Yes, I know Hillary is not progressive enough, yet last night she was the only candidate progressive enough to defend Spitzer’s progressive immigration policy. Everyone else was too busy doing favors for the Republican Party. I want a Democrat in the White House. If Hillary’s not progressive enough, we can work on that after she moves in. Unless we, or the media, blow it, again.
