Meet the Tweedles
"Some say, compar'd to Bononcini
That Mynheer Handel's but a Ninny
Others aver, that he to Handel
Is scarcely fit to hold a Candle
Strange all this Difference should be
'Twixt Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee!" -- political observer John Byrom, 1692-1763.
As evinced by Jew v. Arab; Protestant v. Catholic; Hindustan v. Pakistan and most every Hatfield v. McCoy conflict: It's the slight differences which start a good blood feud. The more alike two people are; the more intensely they'll dispute their superficial divergences.
It seems many Democrats embrace both their candidates and are uneasy Clinton v. Obama has pit two people made of similar ideological stuff in a political steel-cage match. Goaded by the permanently cross-eyed, self-obsessed Tim Russert, both seemed compelled to perform surreal personality theater during Tuesday night's debate. Vestigial personality emerged to half-heartedly challenge Russertesque questions about what they'd do when al Qaeda "resurfaced" in their post-Defeatocrat/Surrender Monkey Iraq.
From the NYT's take:

From the NYT's take:
Mrs. Clinton entered the room Tuesday night not as the underdog, but as a curiosity. Primed by cable newscasts, viewers were eager to witness the latest incarnation: Would she seem sensitive or sarcastic? Bountiful or brass-knuckled? Magisterial or just plain mad? Earlier in the day on MSNBC, when a Clinton supporter said the candidate should just be herself, the anchor, David Gregory, replied, “I don’t mean to be cynical about this, but which self?”
She believes she gets the Buggin's turn over Obama.
Good to see ya still doing your thing.
Yay! You're still here!
