Live From Las Vegas, Part VII: Elvis Has Left The Building

Tue Jan 15, 2008 at 07:56:21 PM PDT

Elvis may have left, but Obama, Clinton, and Edwards are still here, if just for 10 more minutes.  How will this American Trilogy finish up?

Q:  Inappropriate for JRE to talk with Musharraf after Bhutto's death?

JRE:  I've known Musharraf for some time, and what I said to him he needed to hear.  I told him that he has to stay on the path to democracy, and allow international investigators in on the Bhutto case.  Finally, I said that the elections must take place.

Q: When and why did you decide to run for president?

HRC:  Last new year's -- I want to solve America's problems.

JRE:  December 2006.  My family and I asked how we can best serve this country.

OBAMA:  December 06.  I asked whether the family could manage it, and whether I could bring the country together more effectively than other candidates.  I decided that I could.

And that's it!  A thoughtful debate, and a real departure from past fracases.  Thanks for playing, from both mcjoan and me.
