Axelrod is on opposite Garin right now. While no one ever accused Axelrod of being half as articulate as Obama is, he's pushing Garin around Timmy's set.
Garin wasn't able to answer Timmy's question about HRC's debate pledge to set up a NATO-type alliance in the ME. He openly admitted that he wasn't well-informed about that subject. He didn't distinguish himself anywhere else.
Axelrod pushed Garin to cite a past public comment that HRC made against NAFTA. Garin couldn't do so. Garin couldn't do much of anything to sell his candidate.
Timmy hit Garin w/ HRC's inconsistent statements about MoveOn. Garin had no meaningful reply. When Timmy asked Garin about HRC's comments about MoveOn intimidating caucus participants, Garin took a pass.
Yes, it's just one Sunday am gabfest that, in the big picture, will have a minimal impact on the ulitmate outcome of this campaign. It's an illustration, however, of how incoherent and disorganized HRC's campaign appears to have become. If Garin is the chosen surrogate who's sent out to represent your campaign to a national network audience, you have major problems.
