Last night's debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on ABC is generating a lot of comment, both good and bad.

Tom Shales says the big loser was ABC. David Brooks disagrees, giving ABC and A for their efforts.

Nicholas Kristof thinks the debate will simply harden hearts on both sides, and his argument is very persuasive.

On a related matter, Harry Stein writes about ballot initiatives that would end racial preferences. These initiatives could help the GOP win several states in November.

I disagree with the premise of this piece, but I love the picture.
