Drudge: Wolf Turns 'Lamb'; Clinton Campaign Says CNN Host 'Outstanding'


http://www.drudgereport.com/

CNN debate moderator Wolf Blitzer did an 'outstanding' job in Vegas, a senior adviser to the Hillary campaign said early Friday. 'He was outstanding, and did not gang up like Russert did in Philadelphia. He avoided the personal attacks, remained professional and ran the best debate so far. Voters were the big winners last night.'

A rival campaign insider charges: 'Wolf turned into a lamb. No follow-up question on Clinton's huge flip on drivers licenses?'


Personally, I'm liking Tm Russert more and more.  On a non-political note: I enjoyed Big Russ and Me.  My father actually recommended it me so reading it was a kind of parallel to Russert's story about what he learned from his father.  

I can imagine that working for Daniel Patrick Moynihan is quite a contrast to dealing with the Clinton machine. Russert is a solid Democrat from an idealistic point of view.  He may be wrong on many issues, but I have no doubt that he's a good guy.  Cheers to him for not being intimidated by the party hacks.  Blitzer had a chance to prove himself, but apparently took a pass to preserve access to the big shots in the Clinton camp.  Understandable, but still disappointing.
