After last week’s Pennsylvania debate between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, my very good friends on the left were screaming.

ABC moderators George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Gibson were being denounced as traitors, knaves and, in a few instances, things that cannot be mentioned in a family news website. The complaint was that for the first 45 minutes of the debate, the questions were mostly issue-free and centered on Obama’s negatives and such matters as his relationships with the incendiary Rev. Wright and ex-SDS weathermen Bill Ayres.

Some on the left say that it was unfair, unbalanced, tilted against Obama and favoring his opponent.

I agree.

I disagree.

Yes, it was unfair; yes it favored Hillary and indirectly, McCain. Yes, it was a radical departure from previous debates.

The much awaited debate between Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) took place at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, PA. Enormous crowds of supporters lined the street in anticipation of the event, holding signs, chanting slogans, and trying to out-shout each other. The debate was referred to almost as if it were a boxing match, with Moderator Charlie Gibson saying it was like the fifteenth round in a scheduled ten rounder.

In his brief opening statement, Obama said everywhere he goes, he is struck by the frustration that he sees. It’s typical for people to be frustrated and not feel as if they are being heard. In her opening statement, Clinton said the “promise” is alive and well, but the people feel as if the government is not solving problems. Make our education the true passport to opportunity. “We the people, can have the kind of future” that our children and grandchildren so richly deserve, she said.
