Well I don't think Hillary is all salemanship & no leadership. Her plan for universal health care that she rolled out a couple of months ago is a good example of her being more than what her critics paint her as.

There was something about this debate going in that bothered me too. Drudge came out before it claiming that Hillary's people told Blitzer to go easy on her. (he heard it from an anymous top Clinton aid!) Blitzer himself said nobody from her campaign talked to him. Even so Mathews from Hardball ran with it right along with Limbaugh & the other RNC media people.

Fair play!
