She's been given a <strong>complete</strong> pass by the media on the Clinton Years, comes into the campaign with the flower pedals and carpet all but rolled out and she trips on the rug! Mr Obama has had at least 3-4 major missteps, any one of which had the potential to derail his campaign or at least give her traction but she can't even get out of first gear.

Almost certainly this story has its genesis in a pro-Hillary sneak who recorded Obama's comments. So now, a few days later, Obama is weakened and Hillary, with this dismal performance and her ridiculous "extolling the virtues of the common man" schtick is further weakened too. So the only one to benefit from this debacle is McCain. So my question is, given the likely originator of the story was in cahoots with the Hillary camp, how much more will the Democratic hierarchy hate her than they did before? She's getting no more superdelegates out of this. She has not a prayer of getting the nomination and all that has been done is that her Democrat opponent may have been fatally weakened.
