Last night, in the Democratic debate, the candidates roughly tied, according to the CW among pundits.
But one answer stood out. At the very end, Hillary Clinton gave an answer that, everyone agreed, was impressive, dignified, and empathic. Is it her moment?, pundits wondered?
Considering the recent spat about Obama's alleged "plagariasm" last week and the media oxygen it consumed, shouldnt they be asking, "is it really
her moment?
Hillary Clinton, from the transcript:
Quote:You know, the hits I've taken in life are nothing compared to what goes on every single day in the lives of people across our country. [..]
And you know, whatever happens, we're going to be fine. You know, we have strong support from our families and our friends. I just hope that we'll be able to say the same thing about the American people [..].
Bill Clinton, in 1992:
Quote:The hits that I took in this election are nothing compared to the hits the people of this state and this country have been taking for a long time.
John Edwards, in the Dec. 13 debate:
Quote:All of us are going to be just fine no matter what happens in this election. But what's at stake is whether America is going to be fine.
