The Wolf Blitzer Follies [VIDEO]

Alternet.org
June 05, 2007

In the video to your right, Jon Stewart hilariously mocks Wolf Blitzer's hand raising debate system, Hilllary Clinton's "we're all united" routine and more. Even though in many ways this debate was more substantive and impressive than the Dems' first, they have a long way to go when it comes to really engaging voters and establishing their distinctive qualities. Personally, I'm very troubled by the pundits who've declared the debates a victory for Hillary because no one, other than Edwards, made any effort to really challenge her on issues like Iraq. No one wants a dirty campaign, but Hillary shouldn't be allowed to just breeze through to the nomination because everyone wanted to play nice.
