WP columnist Eugene Robinson said the electric moment of this debate for him was...

[DeepModem Mom]

when the two candidates walked out and sat down -- and you realized that either a woman or a man of color would be the nominee of the Democratic Party for President of the United States.

1. Couldn't agree more

If that didn't put a smile on your face, you need to take some happy pills.

10. Indeed -- DM Dad and I were smiling ear to ear the entire evening. nt

[ursi]

2. that's true!

[katandmoon]

3. Well, when you put it THAT way....

4. It's pretty damn cool, isn't it? Could only happen in the Democratic Party.

[DeepModem Mom]

6. Especially tonight -- proud to be a Democrat! nt

7. Eugene Robinson is awesome. So solid.

I never tire of reading his work or watching him on a TV news panel. So NOT FULL OF SHIT like so many of them.

[DeepModem Mom]

8. I think his writing gets better and better, and I really enjoy his commentary on MSNBC. nt

[TexasObserver]

9. I read him for years before ever seeing him on TV.

He's easily one of the best TV commentators. So straight to the point, and not shilling. These guys who have an agenda should not be allowed on panels without disclosure of their leanings.

11. In other words, he DIDN'T want Edwards to win and it was a great relief to the punditocracy

That Edwards and all other "minor left candidates" have been successfully winnowed out and excluded.

[StrongBad]

12. Yep. Only possible interpretation

:sarcasm:

[DeepModem Mom]

13. I doubt that was in his mind; it certainly wasn't in mine. nt

[rodeodance]

14. He is just moving on.
