More on the Debate

So far the debate's been pretty civil. Hillary has shown no hints of going negative, and Obama certainly hasn't egged her on. She must then be resigned to winning on her own merits, and not by dragging Obama down. I think if she continues with this civil approach she will lose, but I think it is the right approach. She can't win in November by dividing the party

John King basically just begged Hillary to attack Obama. She's refusing to take the bait. Ooohh, wait a minute, she just brought up the Obama surrogate flub from Hard Ball. Obama's now listing his career accomplishments to establish his bona fides. He's now defining their differences on how they think change will come about. He seems a little perturbed by her attacks, and is hitting back in his rather elegant, careful manner that tries to stand above the fray but is underlined with passion, and commitment.
