Obama was probably tired from being on Nyquil for that head cold.  He came across as OK and in command on television and he was allowed to give longer answers.  He just doesn't think or speak in 30 second sound bites.  Sitting down is a positive for him, I think it makes him more relaxed than standing at a lecturn.

He got in one of the basic rationales for his candidacy over Clinton at least twice.  That is, that Clinton can come up with the greatest plans in the world but how will she rally public opinion and get these plans through Congress by doing things the same way they have been done for the last 20 years.  

The audience had very high energy and was obviously highly appreciative of seeing in person a close up comparison between two great candidates at the tail end of one of the most hotly contested and epic nomination battles in American history.  I would have been on my feet too.  

Some ideas for future posts.  Do you have any sense of the strength of the two field operations?  Is Texas too big for two weeks of intense field work to make any appreciable difference?  If you were running each campaign in Texas, what would you do?  Can Obama get south and west Texas districts under 62.5%?
