"They"??

Uh, Andrea (note, no "Mrs. Greenspan&quot - who is this "they" of which you speak? It took me four or five sentences to figure it out.

Oho - so the Clinton campaign (not Hillary herself) did kinda, sorta declare victory, and we go from that to "sigh of relief"?

I'd find it amusing, if the fate of the world didn't hang in the balance.

Yeah, I didn't provide a link, but I hope I've provided a coherent description. Network, MSNBC. Time, 11:10 or so Central.

pretty good talking to.

That was a stupid thing to do. And Hillary did not repeat the mistake in her remarks, which were clearly not a victory speech.

I still think it likely that she'll end up ahead. But the campaign rep should never have said that.

She had a lot to say, much of it nuanced, and very little time to prepare. Context can help only so much, I couldn't discern her specific points.

It took me 4-5 sentences to figure out who the heck "they" was. (If you're talking about Andrea Mitchell.)

She even looked self conscious about being flustered the time I'm thinking of.
