Handshakegate '08

With Edwards out, tonight's Democratic debate in California will be a completely different beast. No third or fourth candidate to act as a buffer. Just two candidates. Two candidates who have shown few signs of liking each other lately.

After Handshakegate '08 at the SOTU I predict either Clinton or Obama makes a great gesture at the beginning of the debate to reach out and shake hands with the other. It will be one of those moments that in debate prep seemed like an address-the-elephant-in-the-room gesture but will end up looking like a lame excuse for comedy that politicians can't seem to save themselves from. Sorry I dangled that "from" back there.

It's at 8 on CNN.
