The recent debate in Iowa was the 27th Democratic forum this year. Yes, the twenty-seventh. It’s hard to blame Americans for losing interest, especially when hardly any debating occurs at these promotional events for the front-runners. Jon Stewart put the most recent debate in proper context — and his show last night is the feature of our third part (in a three part series) on Iowa Debate ‘07.

A couple comments (head over to The Largest Minority for a more complete analysis):

#1: How ridiculous is the way Stephanopoulus introduces the candidates by their polling support in percentage points? What is this, a weigh-in at Democratic Wrestlemania XXVII. Wasn’t this guy a key strategic adviser and communications director in the Clinton White House? What’s he doing moderating the debate? There’s American journalism for you.

#2: Look out for a hilarious bit on the repeated random cutaways to Elizabeth Kucinich (even when Dennis wasn’t talking!) towards the end of the clip.

Anyway, Happy 27th!
