For some reason, Russert is being reasonably fair.

Russet actually went after Demint big time and Shrum was awesome.

2. Melman is hysterical

he's in way over his head

3. Yes, the smirk people made a mistake

booking him today to take on shrum. Mehlman sounded like an idiot and plus he's just not likable at all.

8. I watched it about an hour ago

Russert really drilled DeMint. I'm not sure what shocked me more, Russert asking tough questions of a Republican or how bad DeMint was.

DeMint wouldn't answer a straight question, that's for sure.

9. Damn, I'm catching the end of this again

When is the next replay?

DeMint is pathetic. I tuned in just in time to see him stumble all over the gay teachers question. Russert appropriately asked him if he's sure he never had a gay teacher. DeMint was completely unprepared. Now he says he apologizes for the remark, but I watched the debate when he said it and there was no hesitation.

Frankly, the senatorial debates this cycle, particularly the open seats, contain some of the worst candidates I have ever seen, on both sides but especially GOP. They aren't prepared for the most basic questions, and can't articulate their views when they are prepared. Yesterday I saw a program in which a Colorado reporter said he questioned Pete Coors regarding the national debt, and Coors had no idea where the debt stood.
