YouTube is the One in the One-Two Punch
All things considered, I rate this debate as highly as any of the other Democratic debates, largely because the YouTube questions did not come from a member of the media. It may have been just The Wisdom of Crowds
From my own vantage point, I thought that, as in previous debates, Senator Clinton entered as the frontrunner and didn't lose any ground to her principal challengers (Obama and Edwards). It will be interesting to see when (or if) Senator Obama starts to draw sharper comparisons in order to close the gap. Of the remaining candidates, I thought Senator Biden made a good showing, particularly on questions related to foreign policy that played to his considerable experience.

I didn't watch it, but what from I've seen on CNN this morning, it looked more like a techy gimmick, to boost CNN's rating.
I'll take Bernard Shaw or Jim Lehrer any day!
Great book. Another is Paul Seabright's The Company of Strangers, a natural history of economic life.
Passage: About two years after the break-up of the Soviet Union I was in discussion with a senior Russian official whose job it was to direct the production of bread in St. Petersburg. "Please understand that we are keen to move towards a market system, " he told me. "But we need to understand the fundamental details of how such a system works. Tell me, for example: who is in charge of the supply of bread to the population of London?" There was nothing naive about his question, because the answer ("nobody is in charge"), when one thinks carefully about it, is astonishingly hard to believe. Only in the industrial West have we forgotten just how strange it is.
I've watched the show, it was good one. I've seen that candidates were felt the pressure than any other previous debates. Interesting to have questions from Gunman and global warming question from snow man.
