Genuine?

A couple of months ago I endorsed Bill Richardson for the Democratic nominee for president.
It was mainly out of anger that Hilary and Barack were talking smack and I like them both and all that stuff. you can just read the post for yourself.

but barack and hilary appear to like each other in this photo and they didn't "trade barbs" last night too terribly - you know, for a debate. Whether genuine or not (and i hope it is), i really hope last night's debate is an indication of what's to come: thoughtful and intelligent discussion that focuses on the faults and corruption of the bush administration and congressional republicans.
