The Ohio Debate: Will Life Imitate Art?

Posted on February 26, 2008

Tonight is the debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in Ohio. After the last debate in Austin, Saturday Night Live did a hilarious spoof of the debate which illustrates the media bias against Senator Clinton.

In the beginning Campbell Brown explains the rules of the debate, and admits that they're all "in the tank for Obama." The moderators ask Hillary difficult questions, interrupt her and generally insult her while asking Obama if he's comfortable enough and if there's anything they could get him. Best moment: after Hillary's three point answer to Obama Girl's question from the audience, Campbell Brown demands that Hillary give Obama Girl and the entire country an "Obamapology". Will the MSNBC team learn anything from this spoof? We'll see tonight.
