Small shoes to fill, indeed.

I'm watching the debate right now so let's get right into it. The first question Charlie Gibson posed was about why neither one of them will commit to becoming the others running-mate if they don't win the nomination. Both went on and on about how the Democrats have to close ranks and thusly avoided answering the question. Ah, good start.

I'll just list thoughts as they come. Enjoy this fancy bulleted-list:

• Hillary's grandfather worked in a steel mill starting when he was 11. Good to know.
• Barack is a "man of faith", which pollsters say is better than being a "man of nothing."
• Hillary has withstood the Republican attack machine for 16 years. You know, like when they made up that whole thing about Bill and the intern.
  
• Why don't they broadcast these things in HD?
  
• Charlie Gibson wears his glasses too low on his nose.
• Hillary just called New York "my city." Interestingly she's never lived here.
• I'm tired of this Reverend Wright stuff. Let's just agree that New York Mets third-baseman David Wright is a fine baseball player.
• I'm also tired of this Hillary sniper-fire Bosnia thing. If she was gonna make up a story she should've made it more interesting than sniper-fire. You know, like "I got off the plane and was attacked by bears and wolves."

They just went to their first commercial. Lemme post this and will get more up shortly...
