You owe it to yourself to read the entire transcript. Jake Tapper may be left of center, but he's offered some of the most fair, eye-opening coverage of the 2008 cycle. His interview with Barack Obama is almost Russert-like in its focus and lack of softballs. An excerpt:
TAPPER: You and Senator John McCain are both talking about the need to reach across the partisan divide.
OBAMA: Right.
TAPPER: It's not difficult to look at Senator McCain's record and see examples of times when he reached across the partisan divide at great political risk to himself: immigration reform, Gang of 14, campaign finance reform.
I know that you have worked across the aisle.
OBAMA: Absolutely.
TAPPER: But have you ever worked across the aisle in such a way that entailed a political risk for yourself?
