In my second viewing I was struck by the length Brokaw went to to protect Dean, demean his attackers. In the process, he used two wedge issues: the religion - pointed at Clark and the Gay marriage pointed at everyone. Everyone? Not quite. There was one candidate conspicuously missing from the hot seat. And that was the very one for whom the damn thing was cooked in the first place. The annointed One - the one who said "I am as uncomfortable as anyone else" (about civil unions) was NOT asked his stand on civil unions. Brokaw wirked hard tonight for Peggy Noonan's men: Bush and Dean. And despite all that, Clark raised to the top. "His campaign style caught up with his resume" said Jesse Jackson. DU is Clark country since last night. Let's keep it clean and thoughtful. Deanie boppers - please throw the beer bottles in the trash. Thank you.
