How did Hillary do in the townhall last night?

9. I don't think CNN meant she didn't answer the question well. More on that "moment" from CNN:

The night's most memorable moment came when Ricky Jackson, a man who spent 39 years in prison for a murder he hadn't committed, pressed Clinton on her stance on the death penalty.

The auditorium was absolutely silent as Clinton spoke softly and deliberately, explaining that she considers capital punishment useful on the federal level only in extreme circumstances like terrorist attacks. She pointed to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing as an example.

"I would breathe a sigh of relief if either the courts or the states themselves began to eliminate the death penalty," she said.

Then, Clinton turned to Jackson.

"What happened to you is a travesty and I can't even imagine what you went through and how terrible those days and nights must have been for all those years," she said.

"And I know that all of us are so regretful that you or any person has to go through what you did. And I hope that now that you are standing here before us that you will have whatever path in life you choose going forward."

It's moments like these that serve as a reminder of why this matters -- a moment of intimacy in a frenetic and loud year.
