Hillary Hits Bernie's Iraq Jibe Out of the Park

I'm in the middle of watching but thanks to the wonders if DVR I can take a second to summarize. Overall, I think Hillary has done very well.

Bernie had a good opening speech I would say but hers was just as good and in fact I think better. Bernie is kind of a humorless prophet and his voice can get a bit strident. I think he's a little happier when he has control of the format.

For all the talk of personality I think she has more personality than he does.

Hillary did knock him directly on guns and he didn't have a great answer for it other than he's from Vermont.

Martin O'Malley than helpfully pointed out that he's from a rural state too and he got lots of gun control done.

Smarting over that Bernie wanted to go on the offense against Hillary. Anderson Cooper asked him about Syria and of course he related the entire quagmire in the Middle East back to the Iraq decision.

Of course she's the only; one on the stage who voted for the Iraq War. Lincoln Chafe then piled on and basically argued that to vote for the Iraq War is basically the unpardonable sin of American politics-it can never be forgiven.

Hillary though had a great answer-that even though President Obama criticized her vote he did choose her to be his Secretary of State-which is the QB of American foreign policy I should add.

This brought down the house. So she is doing well. Like I said this morning, I think she's got this.

She knows what she's doing. Indeed, Chris Matthews showed her back in the late 70s as the wife of Clinton when he was Arkansas Governor.

She actually went after Bill's opponent and debated the GOPer right out in the street, accusing him of lying about her husband. She loves to debate. She is a natural.
