Based on coverage of the last debate Hillary clearly stumbled
It seems every place I turn I am hearing about "slick" Hillary and here flip flopping and wishy washy answers on several questions. It was on the Today Show today, Air America, The Daily Show and of course all the right wing shows. On the Today Show they suggested it might cause women to rally around her because it may appear she is getting ganged up on. So the question is, was this a devastating blow or mearly a scratch?

1. Are they saying women rally around the victim?
A victim would be Nicole Brown Simpson. Hillary is a politician.

4. No, they just said that because all these Men were ganging up on her
women might be drawn to her. They were referring to all the Democratic and Republican candidates (all men) attacking her.

3. It was a blow
and I am really pissed that she is trying to play "the victim"...if you want to be leader of the free world, you need to be tougher than that.

5. she came across as evasive. she had a bad night for certain. but i didn't see anyone "gang up"
on her.

:shrug:

her rivals saw she was "off" and capitalized on it. she has gone after them hard - remember her calling Obama "naive" for saying he would agree to speak with Iran?

Pot/ meet Kettle.

she plays hardball politics and then says "I'm your girl" and comments how nice it is for a group of men to pay attention to a woman of her age.
:eyes:

can't have it both ways.
