I thought that was good. I feel like in some ways Amy got hemmed in (especially on the immigration debate) by the need to be non-partisan, but I think the whole thing was handled very well. I thought that the other guests were largely articulate and respectful. Compared to other table-discussion shows, it seemed like the conversation was interesting and borderline productive (albeit truncated), especially the parenting discussion.
