At The Half Hour ...

HOLLYWOOD -- So far, we're watching a civil discussion about (gasp!) issues. Apparently HRC and Obama can sit on a stage for 30 minutes and resist the urge to pummel each other. If the rest of the debate maintains this tone, will it spark a fresh round of speculation that these two Dems could agree to run on the same ticket in 11/08 (top/bottom TBD)?

Also worth noting, don't policy-laden debates benefit HRC?

Not necessarily. Obama has much lower familiarity ... lots of people just know that he's a good speaker. Having people see him talk about issues might be to his advantage.
