Dodd touts the corporate carbon tax.

The only flaw in Hillary’s performance is that there’s something ringing in her voice… not quite angry, but almost shouting. Maybe one decibel louder than the questioner or the other candidates. I think she’s trying to seem fired-up, and there’s something… it’s ALMOST LIKE SHE’S SPEAKING IN ALL CAPS.

“I DIDN’T SAY THAT TIM… I WANT TO GET TO A FAIR AND PROGRESSIVE TAX SYSTEM.”

You know, I realize we complain about “soundbite answers”, but there’s something to be said about a candidate who can articulate his position in one sentence. Obama, Dodd, Richardson – none of these guys can say, “Tim, as President, I would [blank].” Edwards is the strongest non-Hillary candidate tonight, but even he can’t generate the quick, memorable answer that will be the “YouTube moment” of the night.

Mrs. CampaignSpot: “Obama looks and sounds like he needs a Red Bull. Hillary looks and sounds like she had two.”

By the way, NBC wimped out by including Kucinich.
