The lefty blogosphere is unanimous: ABC's democratic primary debate yesterday was a flop. The moderators asked questions about trivial issues, and generally stuck to the Republican party line.

Which left me wondering: One of those moderators was George Stephanopoulos, one of the Clinton administration's high functionaries in a previous job. Why would he do this?

Then I remembered what his old boss and his wife's whole campaign have been doing for the past three weeks. I need to get more sleep. There's really no mystery.
