    This is not at all the speech I was expecting from HRC. Very conciliatory start.

    I agree. Edwards just looks so damn fake, even more than most politicians. He just looks like he's speaking for a group of people he has never and will never be a part of ... maybe I'm wrong.

    Please don't get me wrong guys. I've seen Edwards up close and I'm still showering to cleanse myself. I just thought he sounded pretty fiery there, and I think that's the tone he needed.

    Again, not at all the tone I was expecting from HRC. I actually enjoyed her speech. Ew.

    The McCain love among the national press corps is nothing short of stunning. Hillary's almost mortally wounded because she finished in a de facto tie for second. Romney's toast because he finished second to a guy whose GOTV operation was uniquely suited to this process and this particular electorate. But McCain, the most visible Republican of all, an American Hero, goes life and death with Fred Thompson, whose campaign flatlined a month ago and it's the best damned thing that ever happened anywhere. I remain amazed.

    What'd you expect from HRC? Bill's standing right there. He knows how to play those moments.

    Fenian, my ONLY guess is that he did well despite having nothing that the typical Iowa GOPer wants in a candidate. I also think it's an awful lot of spin to say this is a good thing that he ties with a dead guy. But you could also say this allows him to tread water going into the state he's expected to do well in.

    The press likes John McCain because he's fun to cover. It's really pretty simple. You spend some time in his company, and you're hard pressed to say something bad about him.
