Brent Larkin's analysis: Clinton failed early, didn't recover soon enough

Plain Dealer editorial director Brent Larkin is a longtime veteran of the Northeast Ohio political scene. Tuesday night, he watched the Clinton-Obama debate. In this audio report, he says:

• Sen. Clinton opened too weak. The start of the debate had the biggest audience, and she failed to make up any ground.

• Midway through, she got angry -- visibly, audibly angry -- and that made a bad impression.

• She got stronger toward the end of the debate, but by then many voters had tuned out.

• There wasn't much she could have done to help herself, anyway. Sen. Obama is simply too deft at deflecting her attacks.

Listen to his analysis:

1. Brent Larkin is a GOP lap-dog

No surprise he'll back the candidate most likely to lose to the GOP in the GE.

Saw him in the grocery store the other day, ugh.

Take a vacation from politics for a while. It will be nice to focus on other activities.
