So I Know I Said Stop Crying But...

...Here's a very nice critique of last night's debate via Michael Grunwald. The Essence:

It's funny, because the intended point of Obama's ill-advised comments about small-town voters was that they "cling" to wedge issues involving God and guns because they've lost faith in our political culture's ability to solve problems. It's an arguable point. But last night suggests that there's little denying that our political culture has lost its ability to illuminate any issue more complicated than the appropriate condiments for a red blooded American to eat.

Still I agree with one of the commenter who noted that if Obama can dispense with these bums. he probably shouldn't be president. I think he'll do it though.
