CBS Democratic Debate: Live Coverage
That seemed like the first time Clinton really focused on the Republicans; I thought she would do more of that tonight.
One thing I should note: The debate got a lot more testy when we went to domestic policy. If the terrorist attack in France changes the national dialogue, are Democrats going to be left out in the cold in terms of speaking to the concerns of most Americans?
Margaret Keen Harris, who’s on our live blog, points out that the Annie Oakley line O’Malley trotted out was delivered, with more vigor, by then-Sen. Obama. And Obama was then sharply criticized by former vice presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro as sexist. But Ferraro’s critique was viewed as too strong, so the Clinton campaign got a drubbing as racist, and Ferraro quit her post in Clinton’s finance committee. Remember 2008? Knives. Drawn.
