The CNN Townhall With Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton

++Anderson Cooper and the audience contributed to a fine exchange between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. If you want the blow-by-blow, Josh Marshall has it at TalkingPoints Memo and The Daily Kos has the full thing. 

++For someone my age Hillary Clinton exhibited an encyclopedic knowledge of policy and Bernie Sanders showed why he generates enthusiasm. There were no real gaffes or misstatements. The issue of how progressive change can be accomplished is an interesting one for this Democratic cycle. Hillary Clinton will have to harvest the millennial support that Bernie has. The logic of the debate over change favors Hilary Clinton but that hasn't dampened the enthusiasm of the young.

++The Democratic party should be pleased with the quality of the debate. But,remember Hillary is right about the right-wing conspiracy--it is now better funded than before.
