Sen. Hillary Clinton took no guff from her Democratic challengers at Thursday night's debate in Las Vegas, landing effective counterpunches when Sens. John Edwards and Barack Obama tried to bash her.

“an African-American journalist”
I think that quote is by Julianne Malvaux, who is African American. You know, the one who hoped in 1991 that Justice Clarence Thomas would suffer an early death from heart disease.
She had her big arse handed to her... she was shrill, uninformed and un-Presidential.

Diamonds or pearls?
Boxers or briefs?
Incubus or succubus?
Right. Flexing their mushy, soft, wrinkled muscles.
Good Morning RC,
Did the supposed IRR Marine raise any credibility flags to you? Why would a three tour Irag vet need his Mother, to ask a question he himself is capable of asking?
I hope one of our fellow Freeper’s can find out about the real background of this alleged three tour IIR Rambo.
This incident (Q&A) in my opinion was staged, like 99% of the softball lobbied questions asked by the commentators & “independent undecided” voters.
I would appreciate any comments you may have as to your conclusions on the alleged debate.

She’s about as African American as Theresa Heinz Kerry. At least Heinz Kerry hails from Africa.
CNN went back to the licence issue because they were directed to do it by Hillary just so that she could be on record and on national TV giving a one word answer (that took 2 weeks to come up with) “NO”!
To me the most amazing statement of the night (and it went completely uncovered, even unnoticed, by the media) was Obama saying that it’s time to make sure that “our divisions end at the water’s edge”, and then went on to say that therefore George Bush should bring all our troops home.
Incredible. Incredible that he said it. Incredible that nobody noticed it.
Yep, but done in a way to make light of her devastating "trying to have it both ways" answer about driver's licenses for illegals.
Didn't see it, but it sounds like Hillary attempting the magnanimous "being able to laugh at myself, but, laughing at "them" laughing at me, so join me" type answer. How fortuitous that Mrs. Clinton was provided the opportunity to look so cleverly humorous about such a serious matter!
Hey JDM,
I wonder why the idiot (Malveaux) has to play the (race card) and the past? I suggest this hyphenated-alleged-American remember,” That was then, This is now.”

If there wasn't anything rehearsed then it says the other Dems really are dumb and dumber, like the coach who doesn't make any half-time adjustments.
L O L What does the word conspiracies literally mean. Was last night just a bottle of magic?
Morning FNL,
I laughed when Pedro Richardson said he would put (Human Rights) before our (National Security)
The fool did that when he was the Dept of Energy F-Up Kingpin.
God help us if anyone of those idiots (Democommies or Ron Paul) get elected.
Respectfully,

I swear there was a woman asking a question and she paused many times during her own question, even once asking outloud to herself something like ‘Aw, shoot, what was I supposed to say again’?
It was around 9:20PM or so, IIRC.
LOL...check this out about Hillary’s asbestos pant suit...http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1926646/posts
Don’t doubt it a bit...Aw, she was just nervous, doncha know?? ;-)
I didn’t see it, but my expectation was that if there no new attacks, it would mean the press is back “on message” for the Clinton machine. That’s good news for us, really, because both McCain and Rudy have routinely been beating Hillary in SurveyUSA’s head to head matchups in the states (the latest OH poll is troubling, but OH has been up and down this summer/fall). But Edwards beats ALL our people. So I guess I prefer Hillary.
Funny, I did debate in HS, then was a debate coach, and we always found ways to introduce NEW arguments and new points precisely to throw the other teams off stride.

The debate ended with the 2007 version of the infamous “boxers or briefs” questions put to President Clinton in 1994.
“Do you prefer diamonds or pearls?” UNLV student Maria Parra Sandoval asked Clinton.
She happily hedged.
“I prefer both.”

Honors College Student Strives to Create Positive Change
Maria Parra-Sandoval didn’t take it lightly when her mother told her at the age of six that she and her family were leaving their small Mexican village to live in the most powerful and privileged country in the world.
“I knew it must be very important,” she recalls, remembering their month-long journey across the Mexican-American border.
She understood quickly that to succeed in this country as an immigrant wouldn’t come easy. So, in third grade she bought her first dictionary and resolved to learn English.
“It was hard adjusting to a second language,” said Parra-Sandoval. “I knew that I would have to work twice as hard.”
She took that lesson to heart and is still working twice as hard – at everything she does.
Along with her siblings, she was the first in her family to get a high school diploma, graduating third in her class at Valley High School with a 4.6 GPA.
Her success in high-school paved the way for several private and public college scholarships sending her off to UNLV as a student in the privileged Honors College. Today, she is one of about 700 students who participate in this prestigious program and is one of the 1,700 students who rely on private scholarship support from UNLV each year.
“Scholarships provide financial relief to students who need it – if they apply they have decided that they can do it,” she said.
In February 2005, Parra-Sandoval was one of 50 students selected nationally to attend the Public Policy and Leadership Conference at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. This spring, she will serve as the political communications intern for Sen. Harry Reid in our nation’s capitol.
Her drive and dedication to succeed for herself and for her family is matched by her strong desire to create positive change through community service.
“A cause is fought in a way that you show others through actions,” she says.
And so, staying true to her word, Parra-Sandoval helped establish Kappa Delta Chi, the first Latina Sorority in the state of Nevada whose main emphasis is to help the local Latina community.
Parra-Sandoval is an immigrant on a lifelong quest to become a U.S. citizen, a dream that will soon become a reality. Although the process has been a long one, the experience has piqued her interest in our country’s legal system and influenced her career choice.
Dreams beyond UNLV include both a law degree and a master’s in public policy from Harvard so that she can someday practice immigration law.
“My parents have always said that I am the American dream, but I believe that above that, I am their dream come true.”

Maria Parra-Sandoval was born on June 25, 1985 in Nayarit, Mexico. She has lived in
Las Vegas, Nevada for thirteen years and has attended the valley’s public schools. She
graduated from the prestigious International Baccalaureate Program at Valley High School.
Maria’s leadership experiences have been primarily gained in service projects. She has
been a recruiter, mentor and facilitator for the Annual Latino Youth Leadership Conference.
She volunteered in the America Reads Program and helped establish Kappa Delta Chi
Sorority Inc., the first Latina community-service based sorority in Nevada. She has held
several leadership positions within this organization. Maria has also received a Leadership
Scholarship from the UNLV Student Government.
Maria has experience in the political field as well. In high school, she was active in
voter registration, volunteered in a congressional campaign, and interned for Clark County.
In college, she was selected to attend the Fifth Annual Public Policy and Leadership
Conference at Harvard. She is also a Fellow of the National Latina Leadership Institute
Summer Program in Washington, D.C. and was selected to intern in the office of the
Honorable Harry Reid in Spring 2006.
Maria is a dedicated community leader and has come to understand that part of her
role in higher education is to lift others. She believes it is a social responsibility of educated
adults, involved community leaders, and professionals to give back to their community.
