A Magical Moment

05 Jan 2008 08:38 pm

I'm a sucker for these, but there was something edifying and clarifying about the photo op ABC News just staged.

My political instincts tell me that ABC's contrived bipartisan moment best helps those candidates who are appealing to an emotion greater than party affiliation.

Wonder what Romney and Obama were talking about?

Now -- I'm a former ABC News'er, so I am biased, but kudos to Charlie Gibson, David Chalian, the political unit, producer Marc Burstein, director Roger Goodman, and the rest of the folks who've put together this unorthodox, informative debate.
