I noticed she started talking about how great her favorables have always been when she HAS the job, and that they drop when she is trying to GET the next one.

My one frustration with her has always been how much criticism she has let go unanswered. I've always understood it, and she is clear that if she did start responding to the personal criticism, that is all she would have time to do. But she has finally found a way to defend herself in a way that makes her point, and lets her move the discussion back to where it should be. It is such a fine line to walk, and she does it very deftly now.
