Hillary's Flat Tire In Michigan  —  So Hillary got a chance to have a primary race where her only competition was a fringe candidate (Dennis Kucinich), one who already quit (Chris Dodd), a joke (Mike Gravel), and None of the Above (Uncommitted).  How well did she fare in a state that usually likes Establishment candidates?

Ezra Klein / American Prospect:
WORST.  MODERATORS.  EVER.  —  It's almost impossible for me to convey the damage Tim Russert and Brian Williams are doing to the republic this evening.  So far, the questioning has gone something like: “Hillary, are you a racist?"  “Barack, are you a scary black man who will continually remind us that we are racists?”
Glenn Greenwald / Salon:
CNN's John King responds  —  Over the weekend, I wrote about an adulating interview which CNN's John King conducted with John McCain while riding on the storied Straight Talk Express bus.  The interview was broadcast on “Situation Room” with Wolf Blitzer.  In that post, I printed all of the …
