1. Story of the entire campaign.
Hillary is frustrated, can't figure out how to hit Obama. And I believe she is much more able than McLame. He won't even understand what game is being played.

2. Tonight's debate reminded me of something Michelle Obama said
I don't remember the exact quote, but it was something like: "They throw things at Barack and he'll just bob and weave a bit ... and then he'll continue on his way."

That's exactly what I saw tonight, over and over again. Clinton kept trying to nail him, but he either ducked and stayed on message or deflected it, stayed on message and made her look silly.

I think this was his best debate. :-)

4. She brought up the SNL skit as evidence of media bias in favor of Obama
Then she said, "Maybe we should ask Barack if he's comfortable or needs another pillow."


This was a presidential primary and she used a comedy show - not a legitimate, respected news source, but a comedy show - to make a point about her opponent! :eyes:

5. Wow! It all seems really bizarre to me like
that flyer waving shyte and the choir in heaven schtick she was rolling her eyes about..

What did Obama do when she made her pillow contribution? hilary dssing the media on the m$$$m. I hate the media but maybe Obama is better than she..she wouldn't want to take responsibility for that, would she?

6. I don't think he said anything because she kept talking, LOL!

He really didn't have to say anything ... he just let the moment speak for itself. :-)

I just found it on You Tube, so you can take a look:

On edit:

It's funny - she implies that they're biased because she gets the questions first, but then says, "I don't mind." So why bring it up in the first place? :shrug:

Omg.. Now I know what they meant when they were talking about her voice and hoping they wouldn't have to hear it for the next 4 years. That snl and pillow thing went by pretty fast and I'm thinking there's a lot of peeps out there who won't know what the heck she's talkin' about.

I still don't get it 'cause I thought snl was in favor of hilary? The whole "bitch is the new black" and all?

Thanks for the link..there's all kinds of good bits on there..little snippets. :)

10. The SNL sketch was pro-Hillary
It was based on last week's debate and it was about the media giving Hillary a hard time while fawning over Obama. Obviously, it was very exaggerated, but I thought it was funny even though I support Obama. (The "Yes we can" bit really made me laugh.) But no matter who it supported, the fact remains that it's just a comedy skit. I don't understand why Hillary chooses to use it as "proof" of the way the media treats the candidates because it wasn't an accurate depiction of the last debate - it was just a joke! :rofl:
