Democrats, pay attention

Conservative blogger Ed Morrissey of Captain's Quarters has some advice that the Democrats may want to pay attention to after last night's family squabble masquerading as a debate.



In terms of entertainment, it moved the needle more than most debates. However, one of the two will have to run in the general election, and the nasty attacks launched by Democrats against their own will wind up in ads in a few months. The Democrats seem determined to provide a bring-your-own approach to oppo research this cycle.



You don't have to be Karl Rove to find a way to twist those soundbites into a stinging general election attack. I can see the YouTube mashup now, and it isn't pretty.
