Hillary did fine tonight, but she needed a homerun and not a double.

[Forkboy]

This debate isn't going to change the dynamic of the campaign at all, which she desperately needed to do somehow. She had such a fine line to walk where she had to be aggressive but calm too, and that's hard road to hoe for anyone. She had to make Obama stumble and she didn't.

She now has a week to figure out something to stave of defeat, and I don't see how she can do it.

1. She's female..battle is twice as hard..We lose if she does

[high density]

2. Yeah Obama is going to take away your right to vote

And your drivers licenses.

[Oleladylib]

5. I actually don't mind staying home..so no prob.

[high density]

6. OK, I'm sure McCain will be a fine champion of women's rights

And any people he puts on the supreme court will definitely help with choice issues, etc.

[CalGator]

7. 100 more years (of Iraq)!

[high density]

yeeah, you've got it man!

[Ikonoklast]

8. Stop embarrassing yourself

Blaming her gender for the loss is disgusting.

[Forkboy]

14. Women or the country?

And could you explain why you feel that way?

[TexasObserver]

3. That wasn't a double. She got on base once on a walk, and got picked off leaning towards second.

She struck out twice, and fouled out twice.

[Forkboy]

16. Diplomacy.

;)

[TexasObserver]

20. I said she got a walk!

I didn't say she got a base on balls.

:)

[thevoiceofreason]

4. Bull -she was out on a foul tip.

[Cha]

10. Yeah, when did the double

come in?

[TexasObserver]

27. She got doubled UP, but she didn't get a double.

She got a base on balls once. The REJECTION v. DENOUNCE. Thrown out at second when trying to steal it.

[SoxFan]

9. Earl Weaver moment

Hit a solid single, but got thrown out for arguing with the ump.

[DB1]

11. If we use baseball as an analogy here is mine.....

It was a win for the home team, Obama solid pitching, great defense and no errors, visiting team (Hillary) got a couple hits, never got in scoring position, caught stealing once (in the Farrakan question), 1 error, (she played the gender card in her summation) Final score Obama 1 run 4 hits no errors, Clinton 0 runs 2 hits 1 error. Close game but Obama won with ease despite the box score.

[Forkboy]

17. LOL

You should be a sportswriter. :)

[DB1]

19. Why thank you! Made my day.

[Ichingcarpenter]

30. Great Baseball analogy!!

I think the ennings were interesting.

I did a Time study and Hillary was out on the field more
trying to play defensive to the balls that were
hit to her and handled it well, but Obama
came through to get the winning run.

[HeraldSquare212]

12. Yup.

[DesEtoiles]

13. HELLO -- SHE WAS INSANE.

[Forkboy]

18. No she wasn't.

Take the partisan blinders off, if only for a single thread.

[JackORoses]

15. She needed a Homerun instead of a Sacrifice Fly

Game Over!

[smalll]

21. Idiom abuse! FREEZE!

It's not "road to hoe" -- it's "row to hoe." Think about it.
The substance of your comment is quite fair and sober however, so I'll let you this time off with a warning.

22. Actaully hard road to hoe goes back to at least 1840

I think you're right, but both are used all the time.

[smalll]

23. Nice. But anti-Van Buren presidential campaign propaganda isn't exactly an unimpeachable source --

Interesting though. In fact, thinking about it, I'd guess that the proto-Karl Rove who put that one out probably saw his "road to hoe" as a pun -- as people would have instinctively known at that point that the idiom used "row."

[Forkboy]

26. Look up road to hoe and see how many legit outlets use it.

I'd take a screenshot of the google search I did but I'm too lazy right now. Not saying you're wrong, just saying I'm not either. Both are commonly used. Though I think your's does make more sense.

[smalll]

31. Googled it --

Googled "row to hoe" (in quotes): 126,000 responses.

Googled "road to hoe" (in quotes): 26,600 responses. And in those relatively paltry 26,600 responses, #1 was from http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/road.html telling why row is right and road is wrong, #2 was from http://www.opinionjournal.com/best/?id=110007449 (the Wall Street Journal) saying the same thing, and #3 was a reference to your 1840 campaign poster.

You don't know when to say thanks and shut up, punk. I'm taking you downtown.

[Forkboy]

32. Wouldn't be the first time I was taken downtown.

[smalll]

33. That's it. I don't need that kind of attitude.

[AtomicKitten]

24. Obama has really improved in debates.

I think he will spank McCain and then some.

[BenDavid]

25. Just like hrc did ever since the last debate, she has made folks

stop and think about the positions or non positions that obama has. She has mocked him and got pissed at him and that has made folks really stop and think about whether this man is the right choice to be the nominee, let along president. HRC did tonight what she needed to do and that was show the empty suit that is barack hussein obama. Maybe there will be enough time to turn this around and stop this country from sliding further down that rabbit hole if obama is president.

[Forkboy]

29. As always, your concern is touching.

[TheDonkey]

28. She punted
