Roger Simon at Politico (not a Hillary fan) thought she did rather well in the debate
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0108/7753.html

Searching for a way to attack the likability of her Democratic opponents without seeming unlikable herself, she hit on a nifty strategy: She attacked a once-likable Republican, George Bush.

“In 2000 we, unfortunately, ended up with a president who people said they wanted to have a beer with,” Clinton said. “And, you know, at least I think there are the majority of Americans who think that was not the right choice.”

Her second step forward was to use humor effectively.

Asked by one of the ABC moderators what she would say to voters who appreciate her experience, but “hesitate on the likability issue,” Clinton put a mock-hurt expression on her face and said: “Well, that hurts my feelings. But I’ll try to go on.”

She got a good laugh and Barack Obama responded dryly, “You’re likable enough, Hillary.”
