Who gave Hillary the xerox line? James Carville?

[Radical Activist]

Its the kind of zinger he would come up with. Bill got away with those attack lines because he did it with a smile and still came off as likable. Hillary can't pull that off so well.

1. That was my exact thought too.

O8) Carville

[Raine]

2. Whoever came up with it should be fired

it was cringe worthy and embarassing. :blush:

[rodeodance]

3. Sure are a lot threads talking about a hollow issue--typical of DU

[XemaSab]

4. Temperament is an important part of the presidency.

I think that tonight demonstrated this. :)

6. Along with most of the rest of the media

It'll be on every front page tomorrow morning. Glad you feel her point was hollow though.

[miceelf]

12. LOL

Yeah, let's have more substantive threads, like the shape of Obama's nostrils or the way he holds his head.

18. Clinton has made the campaign about hallow issues.

Distractions about supposed plagiarism, holding more debates and seating MI and FL delegates are weak excuses to avoid the issues because Hillary knows that liberal primary voters agree more with Obama.

5. Probaly her communications director, General Zod (aka Howard Wolfson)

19. heh

funny

7. At least it is getting attention.

All Saint Obama has to do is sneeze to get a news story.

17. So is McCain's affair with a lobbyist story.

[ellisonz]

8. Wolfson.

He's the inane one. Penn is just corny.

[TheDonkey]

9. It's got Carville written all over it. Snappy, catty, "hip"

the line may have worked it it were against a republican but it was a against a very well liked democrat and just came across as way to nasty and mean-spirited.

[Jawja]

11. Her timing on it was bad.

It was well after the plagiarism non-issue should have been dropped. The moderators, as expected, brought it up. She made her charge. He answered it. Hillary stuck with it and out popped the "zinger," which bombed with a big THUD.

Hillary is a better campaigner when she is her positive self displaying her knowledge of the issues. She does not wear "going negative" very well.

10. Carville and Bubba is my guess. Too clever by half, and outdated.

[Sulawesi]

13. This also plays to her being scripted...it is not a stupid issue, there

are few moments of humanity in these elections, and that is why these types of things get latched on to.

[alphafemale]

14. I've never witnessed someone torpedoing their own ship before.

That line was horrendously bad.

The groan heard 'round the world.

[From The Left]

15. Mark Penn

It reeked of his ugliness.

[zulchzulu]

16. It smells like Carville n/t
