Well, that debate wasn't very exciting. Evidently, the heated race controversy among the Democrats has been buried. Smart move by the Democrats--implying that race is insignificant in the big picture of things (props to Ryan Landis for pointing this out in my last post).It was nice to see that the Democrats could be much more well-mannered and civil than the Republicans, but the "let's play nice" attitude made for a debate without much debate.
In the words of the Chicago Tribune:
For much of the evening, it felt at times like the candidates might hold hands around the large wooden table where they sat, with compliments, teasing and first-name familiarity.How cute. Anyway, to my surprise, Obama, Clinton, and Edwards had reached a general consensus on Iraq by the end of the debate. The differences between their campaigns are getting a little blurry for me.

I agree, as the primaries toil on, the attacks are interestingly decreasing... probably because its basically obama v. clinton. have they made some pact between themselves, causing the new atmosphere? Bill Clinton said at Davis tonight that "he likes every candidate"... there could be something going on that is totally behind closed doors, but that's my conspiracy theory. but did you take a look at the GOP race? its still very brutal as the front-runner is way fuzzier than the democratic side is.
