No, I couldn’t bring myself to watch the thing. Trying to convince myself these people (?) are American and sane doesn’t work and only serves to make my butt hurt. I’ll skim the text files when they show up in the morning.
Why? Simple.
Remember the line I posted from Drezner’s earlier this week:
“Don’t be surprised by volitility among the candidates. The number one criteria of a sizable number of Democrats (myself included) is who can win in November. All other considerations are secondary. Who has the best health care plan? Who has the best economic stimulus plan? Who has the best whatever? Who Cares! The important thing is to win.”
If it doesn’t matter, why have a debate?
