Stephanopoulos basically presided over a Clinton pep rally. None of the personal issues were raised and George was left sitting in his chair while Hillary paraded around the dais.

The near-complete blackout on the Pentagon propaganda story, self-imposed by the culpable news organizations, is a despicable abdication of their role as a constitutionally protected check on our government. Read More Probing a Political Paradox: Why the Discredited Right Still Sets the Agenda and Dominates the Debate How is it that the 28 percent of the population that continues to support George W.

Obama has received the overwhelming majority of scandal questions over the course of the four debates, by a margin of 17 to 4. Clinton has received only four such questions.

The scandal this time is that there's no scandal. The leak John McCain should be addressing in New Orleans is the one at the 17th Street Canal Floodwall, the same one that was leaking before Katrina.

Obama's politics of change is just a more subtle version of the same. He said the debate was all about "gotcha games" and "slash-and-burn politics." Then he said Clinton "looked in her element" on stage there.
