LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton stepped into the ring Thursday in this city known for prize fights, successfully beating back an onslaught of punches thrown from the left and right as her opponents sought to rattle the front-runner seven weeks before the Iowa caucuses.

She might be a wee bit plumper. I notice she has bad teeth or shall we say a foul mouth...

Thank Bill for that.

Chris Wallace weighs in...critical of CNN...”Wolf OK, OK, OK was like Joe Pesci in Lethal Weapon II.” Says he only watched half because he was turning stupid. Wonders about the cheering section for Mrs. Clinton.

Actually Hillary came out still looking bad. Shrill, difficult answering a simple question, inappropriate laughter/smiling, non-presidential. However, as predicted yesterday on FR, CNN and other media are spinning in her favor. A big loser was Wolf Blitzer. Obama hurt himself also.

I’m starting to get the feeling this is going to be a HRC v. Giuliani election.

Ya think?

[Sacajaweau]

The only woman who was ever qualified to run for President was Jeane Kirkpatrick. Compared to her, Hillary is a dunce.

[Broker]

This you can bank on. Clinton v the G Man.

[Sacajaweau]

It would be very nice if she lost New York to Guiliani.

yep

From today's NY Post:



COMEBACK CLINTON SCORES A WIN

[1Old Pro]

Clinton didn’t necessarily win, the others LOST, afraid to take her on and challenge her.

The others are down in the Dem primary polls by 10-30%, Hillary is CRUSHING them ALL. So what to they do, they play into her playbook and seal their fate as losers. Ubama is playing for the future, figuring he can be like a biden or Dodd and compete again and again in the coming decades.

[syriacus]

...Hillary is a dunce.

I'm beginning to think this is true.

Hillary's intelligence lacks both quickness and depth.

Her shrewdness has gotten her where she is.

Maybe she learned the lesson that people can't be trusted from her mother, Dorothy....

Dorothy Rodham's background was far bleaker. When she was as young as 3, her parents often left her alone all day in a fifth-floor walk-up on Chicago's South Side. They divorced in the late 1920s, a rare shame in those days.

At age 8, Dorothy and her 3-year-old sister were dispatched by train to California to live with their grandmother, who was equally neglectful, once locking Dorothy in her room for several months, Clinton wrote.

“Clinton makes a recovery in Las Vegas debate”

Countdown to the tag “COMEBACK KID” has started...

[Sacajaweau]

She was also named after Sir Edmund Hillary, tried to join the Marines, taught Sunday school.....AND.....supported licenses for ILLEGALS.

heard on FoxNews the last question about whether hillary clinton preferred pearls or diamonds was a planted question .. by the person asking for the questions or .....? missed that part.... but

the young lady was promised she would be able to ask her original question which never happened.

actually, I’m very happy to hear the young woman did not ask such a stupid question ... but .. it does reflect on the stupidity of the person who requested or followed instructions that the question be ask ....

I thought her laugh was faked - you know that laugh. I thought it sounded like she had expected the question.

Did they write this before or after the “debate”? The irony of declaring a winner that you planted questions for.

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

Rush predicted Thursday, before the debate, that these exact stories would appear after the debate. He totally called it.
