Move Along…Nothing to See Here……

Sheesh. After the last debate, some of the writers in NRO’s Corner were the only ones who thought Hillary Clinton won, and it took them awhile to acknowledge that her answer on illegal immigration had hurt her. Now they’re saying……

Girl who asked the question says it wasn’t planted.

Agreed… someone named Jo Jensen left a comment on the Marc Ambinder page. One wonders where that takes/leaves the discussion… (Or does it just get in the way of the good time had by all over the incident? :-) )

This does explain why many people are blaming McCain for what one of his questioners asked (how to beat the b*tch)…

If you’re only used to watching your politicians answer fully scripted and prepared questions, then the politician would be responsible for the text and content of the question…

Heck, I don’t like McCain and I’ll defend him on that one.

I’m reading David Halberstam’s “The Unfinished Odyssey of Robert Kennedy”. It’s all about Kennedy’s run for President in ’68. Kennedy’s advisers were academics. They were sitting professors. Kennedy courted their support and they Kennedy’s support with the very premise being the students would get behind Kennedy all the way.

Too bad Halberstam died. I’d like to ask him about planted question in the ’68 Kennedy campaign.

Besides, if this sort of thing is SOP for the Glacier, why haven’t any other student plants come forward to claim their 15 minutes?

Possibly they’re afraid?

Could it be possible that the only questions she ever takes are the planted questions?

Very possible.

She and Wolf probably worked on them together. abinitioadinfinitum on November 15, 2007 at 11:39 AM

Wolfie is trying to stand tough on this issue.

I can’t wait for the debate tonight, actually.

I smell blood, not menstrual blood, but Hillary! blood.

Trainwreck ahead!

Did y'all see this? It's from Obama's spokesman, but it's a gem.

Hillary- “I’ll repeat your question,”- as if she didn’t know it before the girl asked it.

Anyone who thinks that any questions either of the Clintons field in public are “spontaneous” simply hasn’t been paying attention for the past 15 years!!

Maybe she planted questions for Wolf tonight. ;-)

Marc’s theory is certainly possible, but if the groups are Clinton-friendly, it is also possible they let her know in advance what questions they are going to ask.

As a side note, as of this morning, hillaryproject.com has disappeared off the top of the Google blog “hillary” page and againsthillary.com’s database has disappeared. Those two websites are the biggest anti-Hillary websites and they’ve been “poofed away.”

Every lawyer knows you don’t ask a question unless you know the answer before it is asked. Hillary is manipulating the crowd as an attorney manipulates a jury. Hillary has no core so this is the only way she can relate.

Besides, if this sort of thing is SOP for the Glacier, why haven’t any other college students come forward to claim their 15 minutes?

Perhaps they’re being held for future use by another campaign or they’re dyed-in-the-wool Clinton supporters who have no problem with the practice.
