It was Clausewitz, the military strategist, who famously defined war as politics by other means. Politics in turn could be defined as history determined by other means. For each present political choice tends to come with its own view of the past. It would be hard to find a better example of that tendency than Tuesday night's presidential debate, which was not only a clash of candidates but of pasts. Which explains the competing narratives on display as Barack Obama and Mitt Romney came out of their respective corners and started swinging, each presenting a different past. You pays your...
Candy Crowley is an interesting choice to be on camera period...perhaps she is CNN's homage and overture to the gravitationally advantaged.
And on that note, how did the Committee On Elections EVER choose Raddatz (Obama was her guest at one of her weddings), Lehrer, Shieffer, and Crowley to moderate?!
HOW could that POSSIBLY be "fair and balanced"?!
I asked my wife (who is a legal immigrant), "If a person from another country that is completely ignorant of American politics watched that debate neglecting Obama being addressed as president, who would that person think is the president?" She answered, "Clearly Romney". So who really won the debate?
