Debate Hangover. I don't think that Hillary won the debate. She started out stronger than dirt and finished weak ... not weak as molasses, but weak, nonetheless. She didn't answer the questions that undecided voters have about whether or not her commitment to ending the war in Iraq is real. It'll be interesting to see the effect in the Iowa and New Hampshire polls. I have no sour grapes about the Clinton News Network. As Nancy Pelosi said, "The best preparation for combat is combat." I could hardly wish for a better account of last night's debacle than this, straight from America's heartland.
