Recap part 2

Overall, I think Schlesinger helped himself the most -- by getting fair time to talk and present himself to his Republican constituents. I think he will get a big bump out of this one.

Ned was fine. Ned is who he is, he stayed on message and was sensible.

Joe was the usual Joe.

AK into her cell phone: Schlesinger is a nut case -- yelling and screaming -- between the other two, a draw -- Schlesinger took the pressure off -- sidebar the fact that they didn't talk about Iraq.

Schlesinger was entertaining, and he did set himself apart. He could be a fun profile.

We're leaving -- more later.
