Tired?

Posted: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 8:44 PM by Mark Murray

From NBC/NJ's Matthew E. Berger
Every time Clinton suggests she misspoke on Bosnia because she didn't get enough sleep, I am reminded about the 3 am ads. Her campaign theme of being prepared and ready to tackle tough situations in the middle of the night is dealt a blow everytime she suggests she has gaffes because of lack of sleep. If I'm thinking this, I'm guessing voters are too.

This "debate" is one of the biggest frauds I've ever seen. It's a hit piece, pure and simple; an ambush. There has not been any talk of anything of significance. Where are the issues? Shame on you, ABC. I have never been disgusted with the media as I am now.

I am truly shocked right now at how one sided and unimportant the issues being brought up are.

Obama let Clinton off the hook on the sniper incident. She's very lucky he's about 1000 times classier than she is! By the way, you think they might get to issues anytime soon?

Clinton is incapable of just taking responsibility, without making excuses. I am an Obama supporter, and as I listen to her in the debate, I find myself saying, "oh Hillary, just apologize, and leave it alone". I feel embarassed for her.

Yep, that's what I was thinking!

I see ABC is getting all they can out of this debate. What type of ice cream does each of them like ABC? I know it's boring, but how about a question on like, Iraq or something?

I had no idea that Bill Clinton pardoned two members of the Weather Underground and now Hillary Clinton is trying to go after Obama's connection to William Ayers?! This is ridiculous.

No, we are thinking - "She is such a liar."

Yeah. No followup questions to call her out on saying how she was just so tired.

I had the same thought. If Obama would have said, "Sleep? I hope sleep doesn't affect your decision making when that phone call comes in at 3 am."

If he would have said that, this campaign would be over.

I don't think Obama is aggresive enough!

She's such a political panderer. HRC is too tightly wound to be president. Go Obama. When it comes to issues, watch him focus, relax and convey his message - with facts.

Has every damn non-news pundit (including these here at MSNBC) become a shill for Hillary, or is it that they can't imagine a person with dark skin becoming the president of the U.S.?
