This debate does seem to move pretty dramatically on Iraq. Clinton has clearly adjusted her "best of all worlds" position on Iraq into an Obama co-opting opposition to Iraq. She erased almost all distinction between her position and his tonight.
It's the economy, stupid.
Republican debate in Dearborn concluded this afternoon. The debate is one among many, and had a "been there, done that" feeling, save a couple aspects.
First, it was Fred Thompson's debate debut. Expectations were set so low that Thompson had opportunities. He held his own, but not much more. Answers tended to show the lack of well practiced routines(e. g., Romney's strength through words or McCain's return to his political truths), and even walked the line of down-home homily without sounding slow. Nonetheless his answers showed the absence of months of practice. It also seemed he received less time early, although later he joined in and gained comfort. It will be interesting to see how Fred spins in the collective media.
