Civility

When the candidates are standing up at podiums, they tear into each other like rabid dogs.

When they're seated in those hideous orange chairs, they're friendly, solicitous and generous.

I don't really have a doubt Obama and Clinton will make up after the primary is over. They just did within the context of one commercial break.

That is because the handlers told Hillary that her and Edwards ganging up on Obama is the same thing that won her Iowa.

Don't be so sure ... even sitting the stakes are higher today. And right on cue here comes Obama's attack.

This was a new Barack Obama tonight.

I would not want Obama to be in the ticket of the two Clintons.

I am still hopeful, as I support a hope-monger (a term coined by the two Clintons' campaign about my candidate - Obama: community organizer, state house senator, constitutional law scholar, international childhood, etc.)

PS: It is known that after Yale law, HRC failed her bar exam. She was in DC then. Was this the time when she worked for Children Defense Fund? I mean she could not be a practising lawyer with the bar results. Is this a positive spin?

eorse, you can do a lot without a law license, and it varies from state to state. What you can't do is advise clients on the law, or represent them in court. You can write stuff, if that stuff is reviewed by someone who does have a license.
