10. That's Crap. He Forcefully In Not So Many Words Called Her A Liar And Challenged Her.
He went beyond his role as a neutral moderator in my opinion, based on tone and intent.

22. She wants to run on her "record" of 35 years experience
then let her be held ACCOUNTABLE for it.

Or is that the problem for some of you?

9. Agreed. I Thought It Was Actually A Bit Disgusting.
There's no way they're going to allow her to win this. No way.

It actually left a bit of a pit in my stomach as to how biased this all has become.

13. I'm just watching in disbelief. I'm glad Hillary called them on it.
They hate her, they hate strong women, they hate the Clintons.

18. Look at it this way-
if it is soooo unfair and biased she will be able to play her victim card for at least a week and maybe even shed a tear or two.

Will the whining ever stop?

29. She has a point -- she is being attacked on all fronts, and men seem particularly
to cherish it. When Obama raises his voice, he is firm and presidential, when she does, she is shrill and hysterical. Russert is oh so kind to Obama, Clinton he calls a liar to her face (any male faces he has ever hurled the same accusation towards? Not in my memory).We talk about what would happen to Obama supporters if he somehow does not get nominated. Well, I suspect there are plenty of women out there like myself who are feeling demoralized and deflated at the treatment of Hillary from all sides, including many people here. We will vote for Obama, obviously -- but how much and how enthusiastically we will help with his campaign, is an open question. But no one seems to worry about us... Hope Obama does bring in many fresh new faces to replace us.
