There's no point in trying to overanalyze her statement, especially vs. their statement. No Vested Interest Jun 2014 #7
Sorry, bullshit.. it's calculated. And, I see no reason not to ask who she thinks she's appealing Cha Jun 2014 #8
Precisely - Hillary exaggerates when she doesn't have to. It's like she can't help herself (sad). InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2014 #41
I know.. I just want her to stop. She has a lot going for herself without embellishing. Cha Jun 2014 #43

I think "proven liar" ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2014 #11
Sorry, I don't think so it's a "bit much".. Cha Jun 2014 #13
I don't understand Hillary's need to promote a false narrative that is so easily refuted. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2014 #44
Ouch. ucrdem Jun 2014 #12

I really doubt the Obama campaign asked Hillary to attack Palin for being a woman. Drunken Irishman Jun 2014 #14
Exactly, DI.. and Obama doesn't roll that way.. I think that's been pretty obvious after Cha Jun 2014 #16
Yeah. It makes little sense. Drunken Irishman Jun 2014 #17
I'll definitely vote for her.. my advice to Hillary? GET NEW ADVISORS.. hIRE Cha Jun 2014 #18
Plouffe said he wouldn't run the campaign but would advise. joshcryer Jun 2014 #20
If you look at the whole quote in context-- LuvLoogie Jun 2014 #53
The quote still makes no sense. Drunken Irishman Jun 2014 #54
I doubt they explicitly asked that. joshcryer Jun 2014 #22
Absolutely don't believe that. Drunken Irishman Jun 2014 #24
Clinton said she thought they "hoped" that. joshcryer Jun 2014 #26
And reason enough to grill her over that statement. Drunken Irishman Jun 2014 #29
It wasn't just her camp that thought that. joshcryer Jun 2014 #31
There was nothing to fall for. Drunken Irishman Jun 2014 #34
I agree. It just doesn't pass the smell test. Enthusiast Jun 2014 #35
Plouffe is sort of skirting the truth here. Obama's campaign absolutely tried it. joshcryer Jun 2014 #19
Using female surrogates to attack Palin is not the issue here... Drunken Irishman Jun 2014 #21
Thanks. Cha Jun 2014 #23
She said the campaign was dismissive of Palin. joshcryer Jun 2014 #25
Of course it was dismissive. So was their reaction to Ryan's pick in 2012. Drunken Irishman Jun 2014 #27
She did not mention specifics. joshcryer Jun 2014 #28
Of course not. Because it probably didn't happen that way. Drunken Irishman Jun 2014 #30
She didn't say it happened any way. joshcryer Jun 2014 #32
I am not a President Obama fan. Enthusiast Jun 2014 #33

No may about it. Drunken Irishman Jun 2014 #38
I remember that. Warren DeMontague Jun 2014 #47
And, maybe some palin supporters, too? Women in general except Cha Jun 2014 #39
Really throws meat to the HillaryIs44 crowd. Drunken Irishman Jun 2014 #40
Yeah, it's dripping with self-righteous.. big bad Cha Jun 2014 #42
So is Bob Shrum like, officially running her campaign now, or what? Warren DeMontague Jun 2014 #46
It is concerning as to why she feels she needs to go in this direction. Obama reached out to Jefferson23 Jun 2014 #48
