clintonobamawax.thumbnail.jpgMitt says neither of them have run a company so how could they run a country. Hillary says running the country is not a business, it’s a trust. Obama says if Mitt’s being judged as a businessman, he isn’t getting his money’s worth with his campaign.

Nobody wants to take any big chances tonight, risk striking a knockout blow — they’re playing it very close to the vest and being quite positive.

Politico: How can Clinton say she represents change when there has never been a presidential election in 30 years that hasn’t had a Bush or a Clinton on the ticket?

Clinton: It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush, it may take another Clinton to clean up after the second (big applause line).

Obama takes a soft swipe at Clinton over Iraq, the Beard tries to use it to start a fight and Hillary laughs it off. She tips her hat to Maxine Waters and the Out of Iraq caucus and the camera shows Maxine.

Maxine looks hot.

Politico: Why did you vote against Levin Amendment to make Bush report to Congress about weapons inspectors in Iraq? Hillary says she wouldn’t support it because it would give authority to UN Security Council and not the US government, and she didn’t agree with that. "If I knew then what I knew now." Brags that McCain says she’s surrendering because she wants to withdraw.

Beard: Is there progress in Iraq?

Obama: It’s a myth that Democrats don’t want progress in Iraq, but the notion that we have "succeeded" because violence is down is to set the bar so low it’s in the sand.

Remarkable the difference between their mutual poise, intelligence and thoughtfulness when compared with last night’s bickering pygmies.
