Hillary -- on the ropes. Petulant.
Obama -- Gets it. Presidential.
Why? In a nutshell --
Fundamentally, Obama's campaign is about "us".
Hillary's campaign is about "her".

Clinton/Obama Live Blog
Here we go.
Comparisons of the healthcare plans. Obama is attempting to clear the mailgate issue by pointing out that Sen. Clinton's plan would require 15 mil people to purchase healthcare.
Obama implies, politely, that Clinton is a whiner.
Clinton responds. Obama has a mandate for parents to provide healthcare for their children.
Clinton focuses on her experience by working in the phrase, something like, "in my years of experience on this issue."
oooooh, daggers from, Clinton to Obama, when Obama states Bill Clinton's own Cabinet secretary says his plan is better.
Gloria Ferris says that Franklin Roosevelt DID want Social Security to be voluntary.
Someone should check that out.
This is starting to remind me of an SNL weekend update skit.
NAFTA
Clinton: -- o.k. she thinks it's a SNL skit too. When she started running for the Senate? she started criticizing NAFTA.
--- I, I, I, -- I wonder if trade time-outs will work as well with NAFTA as they do for my toddler daughters
--now she's citing the PD, who endorsed Obama
Obama -- inaccurate for Hill to say she always opposed NAFTA
-- pivoted to trade in general, not just NAFTA
Russert weighs in --
Cross-examining Hill on NAFTA record --
She is citing the Cleveland PD. She must not know this paper. I know no sane person who would cite this paper as an authority.
Obama -- agrees with Hill on this one. Use the hammer. He sounds more presidential. Hill sounds very angry.
Security Issues --
"My extensive experience" -- she keeps using this phrase, but its empty -- there's no there, there.
What is tougher, but not bombing? Hill?
Travelling to more than 80 countries qualifies her as a travel agent, not President.
Obama makes a nice point regarding his ability to debate McCain better than Hill, because her position was essentially the same as McCain's when called upon to vote.
Barack seems comfortable and relaxed. . . Hillary seems adled and not like someone you'd want to hand over the nuclear launch codes to.
Obama seems serious, Hill seems Glib.
She still prepares and files her own taxes?
Huh?
Back to "what is the definition of 'is'" -- Billary has taken splitting hairs to new hights (lows) with reject vs. renounce.
Mr. whatever.
Good answer from Obama on Serbia/Kosovo. . .
Hillary's answers are starting more and more to sound like Kerry's. Obsfucate, split hairs, confuse, co-mumble.
We're back to being honored to campaign with Obama now?
She always seems to want to help from a position of "she knows best."
FINAL ANSWER:
Obama: Calm, cool, collected. In control.
Hillary: Petulant.

Hardwire internet connection established.
Just met President of Gannett Broadcasting.
Getting acquainted with fellow bloggers.
Being briefed by Howard Fencl, Channel 3 Asst. News Director.

We're now watching Channel 3's preview coverage and with the producer of the show, Jon Adkins. You'll be able to hear the exchange on the MTB podcast.
Tim Ferris just made sure we had an adequate supply of coffee.
I will, of course, bring more salient commentary regarding the candidates and the debate as the night goes on. Right now, it's fun to do color commentary.
Oooooh. We're about to be on T.V. Live!
I don't think I've posted yet on the '08 campaign. So you'll be getting a first read on my thoughts on the election. Stay tuned.
Channel 3 reporter Paul Thomas is about to take the blogging room Live on Channel 3.
I just joined Twitter. I am so hip. Heh!
And then there were two.
