My wife and I have been discussing this the past few weeks. We've both noticed Hannity just isn't debating well, at least not lately. Last week, for example, Mario Cuomo simply ran Hannity over. Maybe Hannity's tired from the three-hour radio show?

I think his point is that Colmes has a basic concept of how to debate, whereas Hannity runs about three plays.
1 - Praise Conservative Guest (or Reagan)
2 - Read (R) talking points
3 - Ignore Liberal Guest and shout at him without refuting his arguements.
The most painful thing is that Hannity is 99% right on everything, but his delivery is so blunt and clumsy that he nearly always misses easy to shoot down lines. Colmes is like warmed over death, but he at least talks to the guests to develop leads without leaping right in to the attack.
If they had a sharper liberal on there, I think that the show would be a lot more interesting, and Sean would have to evolve out of his rut. He could really be hitting them out of the park if he could just bring himself to listen and refute better, rather than hit the 'attack' button every time.
