Well it wont happen with her current likability answer, first pouting (I thot we were supposed to forget about her being a woman) and now she is using the tired CHANGE tactic - she has borrowed that and it rings false

I saw a Luntz focus group. Disastrous for Clinton. Based on this one answer, she went from having half the room to no supporters! I mean, they didn't just not like her answer. She lost their votes, according to what they said.

Bad enough she turned into a girly girl, but with the laugh and her pout, no wonder everybody is changing their vote as of now. Even I cringed and I can't stand the woman. If you have focus group people looking at that and it gets broadcast all over the country, you have bigger problems then you dreamed of.

Both Clinton and Obama are shamelessly stealing Sen. Edwards' message regarding facing down the Corporations that are destroying this country.

When this happens, just remember that Clinton and Obama did not arrive at these statements through any life experience or through any genuine desire to change the situation; they are simpl parroting the same words that they see are working for Edwards.

At the end of the day, I believe that Edwards can and will do what he says he will. Clinto and Obama are simply unable to do what they are saying they will -- they're to emanoured of the failoing political system/disaster in this country to truly try to change it.

Based on the debate, I think it's becoming clear what's happening: Obama, Edwards, and even Richardson sometimes, but especially the first two, are teaming up to defend each other from Clinton and give each other credibility, yes, but also to drive her towards anger. We saw that tonight. She got really, really close to losing her cool and going nuts. They're pushing for a Howard Dean moment from her... and I think that's a good thing.

Clinton is not what the new generation wants. The generation that is going to be ruling this country--the one that will inherit the country, is finally getting involved, and they want a new face in Obama. I think that's great. The more young people that get involved, the better.

Hillary Clinton had a good not, considering that in some instances she was triple teamed. I think she is in a good place with her back against the wall. She proves she is no shrinking violet, that she can give as much as she get.
she has to understand that she cannot depend on the marginalized Edwards, who wants to pretend that she doesn't exist and is trying to hitch his wagon to Obama's star.

Great line of the night? "Is experience a leper?" I miss Joe Biden.

Oh please. It was a nice change when Hil went lighthearted for once. I thought she was a robot before, but it was nice to see some jokes from her. So no, it wasn't so bad. I don't really think Barack ended very strongly though, even though I support him deeply.

What John Edwards says about 20 to 30 million jobs for the white-collar college grads is correct. The information comes from the Economic Policy Institute, and the data has been around for quite a while. Like Edwards has said before, "Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear."

kaye's observation that Clinton rings false on the "change" credo, rings true. She IS borrowing the ideology of change from Obama after it propelled him to his win in Iowa. Edwards has also done this, although he is also an agent of change.
I'd like to see an Obama/Edwards ticket and when Edwards sided with Obama to attack Clinton I couldn't help thinking that Edwards was preparing for the possibility.

Change, change, change! From what, to what? Hilary has all the tools, Barack makes us feel good, but John Edwards will kick in the doors and throw the bums out...
