There are already people pushing for a Science Debate. What if Tim Russert pursued some really hypothetical questions and hosted a Science Fiction Debate?

I thought back to that moment during the <a href="http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071213/NEWS09/71213047/1001/NEWS" rel="nofollow">Des Moines Register</a> debate, where the moderator asked Joe Biden about some gaffes he'd made in the past regarding race. The question was as misplaced as the Farrakhan one from last night, but Biden thoughtfully answered the question anyway. Then, with no prompting, Obama jumps to Biden's defense, saying, "I've worked with Joe Biden, I've seen his leadership, I have absolutely no doubt about what is in his heart and the commitment that he's made with respect to racial equality in this country." It was a truly magnanimous moment. Now juxtapose that with last night... Sigh.

Instead she showed why her campaign has failed in a mixed performance in Tuesday’s debate (transcript here). Gone are the days in which Clinton both led in the polls and dominated the debates. While Obama sometimes got lost in the group debates, he has learned to take charge of the one on one debates while Clinton often looked desperate. Clinton even resorted to playing the victim card as she complained about being asked questions before Obama, trying to compare the situation to a skit on Saturday Night Live in which the reporters fawned over Obama.
