I watched the debate and saw that ‘moment’ and think much is being made of it undeservedly. She came across and very focused, mad but not shrewish. I think Hill is in a box. One little thing and it is magnified to an extreme.

Agreed. While she comes across as angry jerk, that is what she always comes across as (when she is not being phony with this "softer side" garbage).

What we are witnessing is the MSM running away from her, and siding with Obama.

They finally realized she is not electable nationally.

The MSM did the same thing four years ago with the "Dean Scream."

Yes - Dean is a weirdo - but he had been screaming and doing that bit for months during the campaign.

The MSM loved it - until they woke up and realized he would never be electable in the general election.

Dean Scream

So, after the scream, they ran it, and re-ran it so he would be destroyed and the candidates the elites picked, Kerry the "war hero" - would emerge.

Was "The Scream" that terrible? Not really - it was typical Dean, and the MSM knew it. But they realized that he couldn't win. So they torpedoed him.

There is a FR thread from yesterday that documents how the MSM has acted as "king maker" for Democrat Presidential candidates ever since McGovern was the nominee and got shelled by Nixon. The MSM decided to take the process over.

She still has alot of hard core supporters. But as time goes on, and she faces the prospect of having to fight an uphill battle, she’s gonna waste all her political capital and drive many of those away.

She seems to be inherently somewhat unstable if she doesn’t get her way. Not a good trait for the president.

Yep, we agree.

THere were two very interesting moments for her that nobody has mentioned because it is hard to describe them but they revealed what kind of person she is to deal with.

The times were when she sort of leaned back with a hateful smirk on her face, I don’t have the words to describe them, and you could just see her in a meeting putting people down. She was arrogant and petty at the same time.

I wish I had a tape of them. THose were her nastiest moments, the most revealing.

Freepers are seeing this as “the scream”. I think that is wishful thinking. SHe has enormous strength and I don’t know that she can be stopped.

BUt Obama looked good I have to say. He is finding his footing.

If I recall right, the MSM also dubbed out the audience to make “the scream” seem much worse than it actually was. They are snakes in the grass and you are absolutely right, the MSM has taken over the election process.

That’s a good analysis of the media reaction.
