Senator Clinton had a disastrous performance at the NBC Presidential Debate on Tuesday; the other candidates zeroed in on her two-minute flip-flops on positions and her non-committal responses to the questions.
A note to Senator Clinton: when one is taking both sides, one does not attempt do in front of the same audience within a two-minute time period. This was ASTONISHING to see. Did she not learn anything from "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it" line of John Kerry in 2004?
As much as I don't care for his politics, Tim Russert correctly went after Hillary after she started playing both sides of the issues. Clinton's campaign teams were heard muttering that the moderator needed to be shot in a pathetic attempt at damage control. Perhaps if they did their jobs in preparing their candidate, they wouldn't have to shoot the moderator.
Poor Russert. Clinton wants to shoot him. And we still don't know where she stands; only that she's running against President Bush. Bush was mentioned 40 times during the debate; 25 of those mentions were by Hillary while she was busy dodging questions over what she stood for.
I think she knows Bush's positions better than she knows her own.
