| Hillary Clinton |
Now to Hillary Clinton. She was the star today. If you were in the room, listening, watching and taking it all in, she simply rose way above everyone else. That she came after Obama did her some good, because she, quite frankly, made him look like an amateur. She was personable. Likeable. Knowledgeable in the extreme. There were also specifics to her delivery that were unmistakable and could not be ignored, except by those who refuse to give her a chance. The voters in the room took to her and got her, responding with laughter and applause. I specifically appreciated her choice to stand rather than sit next to Karen Tumulty, the moderator. She was comfortable and natural in the setting, clearly loving this new role, something I can only imagine she's dreamed of manifesting her whole life. Her Midwestern twang is definitely back, which I can appreciate, though it illustrates something else. Hillary Clinton is coming into her own. She's feeling some momentum or maybe she's just having a damn fine time. Whatever it is it shows. Could it be contagious? One never knows, but that brings me back to where this day started. Three GOP white guys with signs slamming liberal women. This is a challenge for Hillary and the rest of us. As Clinton continues to take heat, much of it justified, what also shows up is the over the top criticism and judgments that few males have to endure. Clinton is going to take a hit for her stance on Iraq, so be it. But when you consider the other issues we're all facing today, health care is one of the most important to us all, individually and in our families, it's a mistake not to give someone as bright and well prepared as Senator Clinton serious consideration. Hillary Clinton did herself a lot of good today. Whether it's something she can build on is up to you.
