  And We're Off!

  Welcome to the National Constitutional Center in Philadelphia. The camera pans around the room. It’s tiny! Looks kind of like a Disney ride—one of those magic motion machines. Hopefully the seats rock back and forth and water squirts on the audience.
  
  The set is a lot less flashy than CNN’s. The whole scene is pretty formal, down to Clinton’s conservative gray jacket. Clinton and Obama are both standing at lecterns, instead of the desk meeting we had at the other mano-a-manos.
  
  Also, note the “We the people” banner in the background. Kind of like a Ron Paul ad.
