10. I'm reading this, and wondering to myself if I missed something in the debate...
what personal attacks were waged on Senator Clinton? Was there a moment, perhaps when I went to the bathroom, one of the candidates said she had funny hair? Or she dressed funny? Questions about her trustworthiness are fair game and NOT personal IMO. I want to know if a candidate is truystworthy or if they are taking money from special interests.

Edwards and Obama went after Sen. Clinton on policy, and they went after her hard, and I have no doubt that were Obama or Edwards the current frontrunner they would have been questioned just as fiercely.
I like and respect Geraldine Ferraro, but I think she's way off on this.
I am not a Hillary Clinton supporter...that's no secret, but I've worked hard to be fair in any and all criticism of her (even if I fail sometimes), and even give her her due. Clinton is already dealing with (and presumably will deal with) enough genuine sexism (like the McCain/bitch comment recently), and I will stand behind her on it every time, but getting pressured aggressively at a debate...doesn't qualify IMO.
