Turn out the lights, this primary is over ...

Hillary Clinton’s task tonight was straightforward: land a knockout punch on Barack pol_070807_clinton_obama_2x2_5a.hmedium.jpgObama and change the trajectory of the election. It didn’t happen. Worse yet, it was a setback – not only did she lose on the merits, but stylistically as well. She seemed too aggressive at times, and at one point refused to stop talking.  It was not a good night for Senator Clinton.

The most bizarre moment of the debate: Senator Clinton’s complaint that she’s always asked the first question, somehow intimating that it was a grand conspiracy against her. The second most bizarre moment: Clinton citing the SNL debate skit from last Saturday as proof that the media favors Obama. Um, ok.

The big winner of the evening: Tim Russert.  Big Russ asked all the tough questions, and didn’t let the candidates filibuster. MSNBC should have made the debate an extended episode of Meet the Press and given Brian Williams the night off.

So what's left for Hillary? She's tried everything: anger, indignation, sarcasm, more anger .... and nothing has worked.  Expect to see more of the "kitchen sink" approach through March 4th, and then a (graceful?) exit from the race.   We'll see.
