We must be reading different pieces today, because pretty much everything I've read from the left and the right says that she was masterful with the exception of that one question. And even on that question, it wasn't as disastrous as a few people are making out. She should be happy with the result of the debate. She has pretty much sealed it. Obama lost whatever opportunity he had.

Everybody attack Obama.

Everybody focus on why the other candidates suck. Fill in blank time with boring information like what you would do.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

If the media is focusing on this, it is because Republicans are terrified (TERRIFIED, I tell you) of Hillary. Obama and Edwards are both desperate at this point, so they are piling it on.

I disagree with Hillary on just about everything, but she is tough as nails. This is nothing. She is the Nominee. Next.

If a Republican wins, the Supreme Court will be overwhelmingly conservative for the next several years. At the risk of oversimplifying, the Court currently is comprised of four conservatives, four liberals, and one Justice, Kennedy, who often operates as the swing vote (Kennedy was the fifth vote against the Bush Administration in the 2004 military tribunal case). The conservative Justices are relatively young, while three of the four liberal Justices are the most likely to be replaced during the next administration (Stevens is 87 where Roberts is 52, for example).

This means that best that we can do over the next four to eight years is hold serve - replace liberal Justices with liberal nominees. However, if Romney, or his functional equivalent, takes office, these vacancies will be filled with more Scalias and Thomases, and the Court may have 5-7 conservatives.

This, to me, is the most important least discussed consequence of this election. So, I'll end where I began: Is Clinton electable?

Clinton is the one candidate who recognizes the complexity of issues and answers accordingly. She refuses to dumb down her answers.

Fucking "lightning round". What a disgrace.

They're that sad.

It's kind of like how the closeted gay GOP seem to spend all their time attacking gay marriage and gay rights to employment.

Very, very sad.

Drivers licenses have nothing whatsoever to do with immigration. A drivers license is a license to drive a car. That's it. Often used as proof of age as well. Okay, fine. What does that have to do with immigration? Nothing. A drivers license is not proof of citizenship.

Whether legal or illegal, I'd rather immigrants learn to drive properly, get licensed, and insured. Let INS worry about their legal status, not the clerks down at DMV.

A birth certificate from their home country, a passport, perhaps. Third world countries aren't that backwards.
