Was yesterday a slow news day, or what? I've never seen so much media analysis of a potential snub. Did Obama intentionally turn away from Hillary (I'm doing it: that first name thing) or was he focused on something else? Maybe he was just zoning out or thinking about how badly he needed a very dry martini. I can imagine him as a CIA operative (remember those great early days of Alias?) listening intently to his earpiece: Boy Scout, target within handshake range; move out. Is this news? I was extremely disappointed in Hillary when she commented that she hoped to have the opportunity to shake Barack's hand in the near future. Why even dignify such nonsense with a passive aggressive response? Again, issues people: can you talk about actual issues instead of petty would-be snubs dreamed up by idiots who spend way too much time analyzing non-events? Those of us trying to select a presidential candidate worthy of our vote would really appreciate it.

And while we're at it--Hill has Ted's hand firmly in hers: perhaps Obama would have shaken it next but cropped out is the other person who has engaged him in conversation, and he is not rudely going to turn his back on her. Sandbox politics.
Amen sister!
The news wants to compete with "reality" tv.
I saw a recent piece about how disappointed the networks were with the last cordial debates.They had spent the week hyping it as being a battle and got nothing.The producers were looking for "creative" editing to make it more dramatic.
Just report the news please, don't manufacture it.
