on Nov 3rd, 2007We still don’t know the answer

The Democrats’ debate October 30 was not Hillary Clinton’s finest hour or two, especially when it came to the sharp challenges by Senator John Edwards  of South Carolina. There were moments that went way beyond any Flip-flop Award I could give her — again.

Now the Edwards campaign has jumped on her performance with a hard-hitting ad that proves politicians don’t have to mire themselves in mudslinging to make a point, and to make it forcefully. It’s called The Politics of Parsing - a word we often heard, appropriately, with Bill Clinton.

Since its posting on YouTube yesterday, this ad has gotten 120,000 plays.

    Hey, I missed the debate but your clip shorted out the volume about a quarter of the way through so I can only guess what the candidate was saying. I wish there was some way around this problem. Sort of an off the record day when all the candidates could say what they really think and it wouldn’t be used for or against them. Otherwise, I am definitely back to writing in Nader.

    That’s odd. It played just fine for me right now. Maybe you got a YouTube glitch from heavy demand. I just checked over there and this has now had almost 165,000 plays.

    Yeah, it’s still a glitch for me but anyway I just had a thought, could Al Gore be the new Ralph Nader?

    And it’s still fine for me. Perplexed. Maybe if you head straight to YouTube you’ll have better luck.

    Gore - you mean as a spoiler? I don’t know. The brand new Newsweek poll shows the debate didn’t hurt Hillary. If she wins NH — where she’s not well-liked — she’s probably a shoo-in. The poll is here:
