Ezra Klein asks: "Where was Edwards?"

Klein thought Edwards seemed "unusually subdued" in last night's debate.

He's probably unware that Edwards was -- to put it bluntly -- muzzled by General Electric's television company. While Obama spoke for 34 minutes, and Hillary for 27, Edwards spoke for just under 22. Edwards was asked 19 questions, compared to 28 for Obama and 23 for Hillary.

Media bias is powerful stuff. Even the good guys get snookered.
