If they'd led in with Huckabee (and even Romney) and trimmed her down to 20 minutes, it might have been different Instead, they packed in a Rudy who overran, had to skip the introductory video that would presumably soften her, and had her playing to a room that wanted nastiness. So the nastiness shone through.

My gut feeling is that many primetime-only viewers were creeped out by that hour. That the Democrats watching were sufficiently alarmed and offended to open their wallets

I also think they were trying to bait Obama, which is a silly tactic, but a dangerous one if you take the bait. There's been a precision and a certain amount of grit in his economy-heavy speeches these past few days. He just needs to keep doing that. The base ain't that big any more.
