Professor, are we going to get your thoughts on the debate?

Hmmm. Well, not a debate so much as sequential Q&A, as usual. Am torn about whether to castigate Ifill for her failure to follow-up or congratulate her for staying out of the way and not making it about her. The post-game coverage was exactly as would be expected, although, thanks to a variety of snap polls (some better than others) the time for fully vacuous bloviating is reduced a bit, only because they have to reconcile their own pseudo-insights and conventional quips with what the (albeit limited) data show.
