up late then up early

Spent hours last night editting the Secaucus debate video in hopes of getting it done for the weekend. There is something magical about such events, bringing together political opponents in one place. It is a shared experience that each participant knows is something that will not happen in the same way again, and at the end, you can see a strange look on their faces as they leave, as if they are relucant. A successful video -- like the Woodstock movie -- captures a bit of this along with the rhetoric.
