I loved this moment, from Fiorina at the end:
"There's only one thing that does that -- a rising level of education, a strong entrepreneurial foundation and a tax and regulatory structure that encourages people to take a risk, invest capital and create a business."
THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS
There was a moment when Jennifer Granholm dropped her forehead abruptly downward as if she was going to actually smack it on the table, in reaction to the Republican saying about GM "Just because it worked, that doesn't mean it was right!"
There were one or two others when Krugman's reaction was priceless, he couldn't keep from laughing out loud when Carly Fiorina said that all the government had to do was call up all the "Wall Street Banks" at the height of the collapse and get them to bail out GM instead. Presumably just before giving them billions to keep them afloat because they had no money and were threatened with imminent bankruptcy from their massive debt.
It truly was a moment of wonder.
