CANDY CROWLEY: Good times,bad times..You know I had my share
Bloggies-

Can you develop caffeine immunity? up at 4 (austin time). 6 and 7am liveshots.

At 7 I finished and tossed back to anchor John Roberts—except I called him Anderson.

Seen one anchor seen’em all.

Just jokin’.

Tonight I’ll even the score and call Anderson…John.

Still in austin (71 Degrees on the street corner. smiley face)

Dissecting goat entrails from the debate. They both had their moments, no?

BAD ONES

Hers:

-HRC on Obama’s “plagiarizing ” / “borrowing” / “using” some rhetoric from his buddy-Gov. Deval Patrick, and I quote: “it’s change you can Xerox.” She was booed.

-mentions an Obama surrogate (Texas lawmaker) was on the tube and couldn’t name a single Obama legislative accomplishment (true)… The guy was sitting in the second row and is quite popular in Texas. She gets hissed..

-She backed off after that…passed up an opportunity to hit him on experience…now compare and contrast only policy.

His:
-He totally blew one of the final questions about a time in your life that tested you…gave this long rambling non-answer with his life story. hello? introspection please

GOOD ONES:

Hers:

-On the question he punted, she knocked it out of the park. (My sports knowledge is weak, but I KNOW those are mixed metaphors.) Moving down the court, she gave an affecting answer about a ceremony she went to involving a lot of wounded vets from Iraq and said, basically, No hit I’ve taken compares to the challenges so many Americans face…

-And at the end, “…no matter what happens in this contest–and I am honored, I am honored to be here with Barack Obama. I am absolutely honored.” Incredibly gracious. She then reached out and shook his hand. A standing O. (Comentary-ing today says that last part sounded like the beginnings of a concession speech. Bet the farm that’s not what she was thinking).

His:

-After she punted the opportunity to criticize his experience, he comes back and says, “On what I believe was the single most important foreign policy decision of this generation, whether or not to go to war in Iraq, I believe I showed the judgment of a Commander-in-Chief and I think Senator Clinton was wrong in her judgments.”
I’m thinkin’ people came away supporting the same person they did going in. I’m thinkin’ the high noon (literary license) showdown was a draw.

Draw goes to the frontrunner.

I’m thinkin’ you’re thinkin’ something different.. Is this a great country or what?

Onward and upward….

Miles to go before I sleep… (I plagiarized that.)

-Candy Crowley, Senior Political Correspondent
