Debate? A debate has a form, that was one person asking a question,
another replying and then moving on to some other question. Hardly a
debate. In that form there is no viewpoint expressed other than that
of the person answering the questions. A joke maybe, but no debate.

Obama was basically filling in for Robert Gibbs.

Clark agrees that Barbara Boxer is a 3rd grader.

Clark never fails to entertain. I got a good chuckle also.

Obama's RCP average approval rating is around 47% which is considered
unelectable. Bush's was above 50% for the five weeks prior to the
election and dropped to 48% on the week of the election and he was
re-elected. So it's borderline right now.

Correct. It was actually tougher than a debate. They were lined up with
carefully prepared question after carefully prepared question, and they
still got nowhere. I am quite certain that the GOP will never invite
Obama to a live, unscripted television debate of this type again.
