Las Vegas Democratic Debate Knight Moves

At the Democratic debate on Tuesday night in Las Vegas, the moves were calculated to distance the candidates from George W. Bush and his failed presidency; to show party unity by emphasizing the common ideals of the three candidates (Obama, Clinton and Edwards); to strike a differing pose from your gentile opponent when the opening was opportune; and to show as much (not too much) vulnerability as necessary to appeal to the fickle "single women voters".

Obama -- I see your tearing up at a question from a supporter and I move a; "my desk is so crowded, I tell staffers not to give me any papers until half an hour before I need it; so it doesn't get lost".
