And then there were two...

I laughed, I almost cried, it was better than Cats. What a riveting Democratic debate between two worthy opponents, not to mention an African American and a woman! Kinda surreal that it was in Hollywood, before an Academy Award audience. Caught glimpses of Bradley Whitford (of West Wing fame), Pierce Brosnan (as the heart goes ka-thump), Stevie Wonder, Diane Keaton,...and our very own Gavin Newsom.

I was most impressed by the articulacy, quick-wittedness and high caliber of the two candidates (which reminded me of how floored I am [down to the 30th basement level by now] over how this current...pErSoN(!!) not only got into office but actually won the second time around). Even more striking was the mutual respect that Obama and Clinton obviously shared for each other, nodding quite frequently in agreement while the other was speaking, and jointly conveying the message that, differences aside, we need to be a united Democratic front.

Like Wolf tonight, the pundits are going try to introduce instigating spins to this event, but I thought the two of them were brilliant. [insert dramatic slow clapping, increasing with speed]
