22. Other: Calculated strategy

I have not been a Hillary basher on DU, but this sure as hell looked calculated to me - a Hail Mary pass, as it were. And it worked, as she is the lead story on all the newscasts tonight.

Risky but savvy. It could backfire, but it certainly threw something new into the dynamic, and that was a necessary thing for her to do. I do note that she had the presence of mind to get her talking points ("Some of us are ready and some of us are not") into her "tearful" statement.

That's what it looked like to me, anyway. Probably to a lot of others, as well.
