I think Hillary's handlers have toned her down some trying to make her more likeable. Sure would hate to have that job! I can hear them now... "Now remember to smile okay?...what? Yes I know it's painful, but you've gotta do it...And for God's sake don't attack anyone okay? What?...Yes he is a butthead, but you can't just tell him that, it makes you look like a bi-- ahhh...er I mean not very nice ...Now let's get you into makeup, that's gonna take a while."
I found Hillary's remarks tempered as she grimaced an attempted smile. Then she stood Anderson Cooper up with no explanation. Can't blame her I guess. He's pretty Jerry Springer-esque playing sound bites of an opposing candidate's attack to a guest, getting his/her response, then playing that back to the other guy while he's on. Back and forth we go. BTW, my wife loves Anderson Cooper, and since he's openly gay I'm okay with that.
Kennedy will be more of a liability than an asset before it's all over. He's simply too big ( pun intended) a target for conservative or even moderate critics. That said, it's starting to look like Obama's got a real chance against Hillary. Dude's articulate, handsome, has a nice open genuine looking smile, and affable manner. That'll get him most of the votes among those shallow enough to vote the democratic ticket. Remember how far the sultan of slick's charisma took him.
Very scary stuff.
