The news: The Democrats have diverse views on driver’s license for illegals…..Clinton concedes that NAFTA was a mistake…Clinton can give as good as she gets…Richardson has his best night yet….Obama admits that he was wrong to miss Lieberman-Kyl....

Marc: That's not "The News." That's your opinion.

There's a (BIG) difference.

I can see how it seems Bill R. had a good night but let's put it this way.
With his national security vs human rights answer he has clearly and definitively excluded himself from the VP race as far as the Clintons go. And even if he electorally does himself good with the Nevada audience, is there any way he would get any momentum from a NEV win ? Of course not. It would be easily dismissed by the media as favorite-son-of-the-neighbour win and move on to the real contest.
Obviously Obama had a shaky night although to be fair Wolf seems to have adopted the politics of pile-on on him tonight. As long as Al Sharpton does not go on TV tomorrow to say CNN is racist (a la Ferraro) we will be OK.
But isnt there danger for Clinton to "give it" ? Edwards does not seem to have been hurt for going negative because he has some reservoir of sunny good-will. Clinton has already a reputation of being ... u know what McCain's questioner called her ... and that image shouldnt be what she would want to bring up IMO.
But maybe my bias is showing.
