		<description>What's really sad is that this now provides more fodder for those who don't think a woman should be president.</description>

		<description>Actually, Hillary does have a point about Obama's campaign seeming to present an idealistic face for the cameras while putting out some mailers that were pretty questionable. I'm still undecided on whether this is hardball campaigning or whether he truly believes that the NAFTA and health care mailers were legit.

However, in the end it doesn't matter, and Hillary supporters are wrong to cry foul. I mean, even if they're right and Obama is using some underhanded tactics -- they still have no answer for it! This alone ought to give anyone reason to question whether they can really handle the GOP. Which makes me think the campaign that's been hopelessly naive is not the one that's leading in the polls.

As for the mockery moment, I'm one of those people who happen to think that mocking one's opponents can be very effective, if done well. Need I say it is difficult to pull off; it's a question of body language and delivery, and that's what's so appalling here. Hillary's demeanor is more school bully than school leader -- and nowhere close to presidential. Her erratic behavior just reminds voters of all the other Hillarys we've been presented with since January. Which one is the real Hillary? And do we want this woman to have her finger on the bomb?</description>

		<description>&lt;a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/02/the-clintons-la.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Sully so nails it...

Clinton is a terrible manager of people. Coming into a campaign she had been planning for, what, two decades, she was so not ready on Day One, or even Day 300. Her White House, if we can glean anything from the campaign, would be a secretive nest of well-fed yes-people,  an uncontrollable egomaniac spouse able and willing to bigfoot anyone if he wants to, a phalanx of flunkies who cannot tell the boss when things are wrong, and a drizzle of dreary hacks like Mark Penn. Her only genuine skill is pivoting off the Limbaugh machine (which is now as played out as its enemies). Her new weapon is apparently bursting into tears. I mean: really.&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>That video of her is it. She is done.

My wife over heard it while I was watching and she said, "is that Hillary making fun of Obama? That is so uncool? What is wrong with her?" This from a woman who liked her not three weeks ago.</description>
