Who's Watershed?

clipped from www.pittsburghlive.com Corallo remembers a politician once telling him that if you are not having fun, you need to get out of the game: "The business of governing is serious, but the business of campaigning should be fun." "I am just glad that Fred has an innate sense of humor," he added. "Should he decide to run, people are going to see that." Republican strategist Kent Gates said it clearly was Thompson's moment: "It was quick, clever and precise in the way he responded to the attack." Thompson has said he wants to run a different type of campaign, and the video clip proves it. It was the almost-candidate himself stepping up and doing something Americans haven't seen. The question is not if this was a watershed. The question is, whose watershed was it -- Thompson's, mainstream media's or new media's?
