1. People love to misinterpret the Clintons, then freak out about their own misinterpretations.

12. Of course they do. When they can manufacture an apparent outrage, it's good for their ratings.

The constant bombardment of negative comments and the candidates need to defend themselves against them just gives them something to fill up their 24/7 news cycles. A real discussion of issues won't get nearly as many viewers as some kind of juicy controversy even if they have to make it up out of whole cloth. It's all about sensationalism.

2. one problem though...

he lost me almost immediately "And finally, according to the evidence today, she's also the most electable."

She has a 37% favorable rating nation wide.

3. What about the way they have twisted his words??

I know what you are saying about that point, but the article provides examples of what Clinton actually said and how the media pundits only played snippets and then misconstrued what they meant.

7. I hear you...

It's really all subject to interpretation as to what he meant, so to me it's a wash.

4. He's clearly basing that on the states she won.

Nothing more. It's politics. Spin is inevetable.
