Clinton Makes Comeback in Democratic Debate

Two weeks after a rocky presidential debate performance where Hillary appeared at times both defensive and evasive, the New York senator came into Thursday’s Democratic forum poised, confident and ready to rumble.

For the first time, she directly challenged the records of her top rivals, Barack Obama and John Edwards. She even chided Edwards, her fiercest critic in this debate and others, for “throwing mud” Republican-style.

Spectators inside the debate hall appeared to echo that criticism, repeatedly booing Edwards and occasionally Obama when they criticized Clinton.

And after days of torturous contortions on whether she supported granting driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants, Clinton was able to stand by and watch as Obama was tripped up on the issue this time.

    Throwing mud Republican style? Point out to me exactly where anyone mentioned the name “Monica Lewinsky” or asked her for an update on the “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.” Don’t bother. No one did. No one acted like a Republican. You just can’t ever say Hillary is anything other than a perfect lady. And the booers in the crowd? Hillary campaign workers. Don’t you ever check out the low-down on Daily Kos?
