The Empire Strikes Back

So, I suppose that this was expected. Or should have been; to be sure, Hillary Clinton was not going to let her campaign's slow bleed continue any longer than she had to. She showed that she learned from the mistakes that she made in her previous debate and last night, she let her opponents make the mistakes. To the extent that they sought to take her on, she bashed back. The conventional wisdom will duly reward her.
But that doesn't mean her vulnerabilities still don't exist, especially with the raft of negative stories that came out over the past couple of weeks about her. And that doesn't mean her opponents can't continue to take advantage of those vulnerabilities. Hillary Clinton is a tough and resourceful candidate and no one should underestimate her. But we all have learned that she is not ten feet tall.
Very true. Obama and Edwards not so much. I doubt they will be able to capitalize on her missteps.
