I think this is actually a good point for Hillary.

I am shocked that the punditry does not understand what Clinton is talking about here.

Deterrence for a Iranian NUCLEAR attack.

It is funny because this is supposed to be the gotcha question. The person got are the idiot pundits.

A "bloody shirt" for Democrats.

If so, we Democrats are effing idiots.

Clinton answers it very well.

I think the idea that a one second flash of OBL is "raising the bloody shirt" is a little silly.

She says ad is about leadership--and there are many instances when leadership is important.

Wants people to understand how serious this decision is. Katrina part of ad, she reminds KO.

Hire person you think is ready on Day One? What would you look for?

(He'll do a Tuzla now, right?)

Historic nature of both hers and Obama's candidacy.  Some protesters--is any criticism of her campaign necessarily sexism?

He wants to grill her on this.

Not sure where he wants to go with this.

Scaife owns a newspaper.

She is a politician.

I am wondering what he thinks about it.

She was invited to editorial board--she was curious--she can hardly tell the owner/publisher to not attend his own editorial board's meeting with a candidate!!

Lot of give and take--felt they didn't agree with her on many issues.

Uh, wouldn't that be balking at freedom of speech?  Jeesh.  I never heard of such a question. . . .

.....going over Iran, oil, and having it analyzed in the negative.

When Ann Lewis spoke this afternoon, she seemed to be saying the massive comes into play IF Iran has gone nuclear armed.  But I am not sure of that--and this is the kind of thing diplomats like to have some wiggle room on.

Now, WHY WAS Hillary laughing during his question about Scaife? BCZ KO who's been dissing her beyond believe WAS ASKING THE QUESTION.

Keith! Richard! Dense much, guys!!

Food costs, starvation rampant in the Third World--maybe in all parts of the world in some parts of some societies.

There is so much that is unknown, so much needing fixing, no savings to draw on--and maybe a monetary system breakdown.

Second, any thoughts on the impact of this on PA tomorrow?  Is it too late to have much of an impact, or might it motivate some to come out that otherwise would have stayed home.

Unquote.  I do not make this up.

His tone changed when he was talking to Wolffe to making fun of/disapproving.  It wasn't overdone, but it was there.

On Iran -- that was dirty.  Keith asked Hillary what she would do in the event of a nuclear attack by Iran on Israel, and she answered.  Then he and Wolffe nailed her for thinking Iran might launch a nuclear attack when Iran has been "going the other way," I believe they said.

Then on McCain: Wolffe was very disparaging about the way she answered -- basically accused her of putting on a big performance to try to cover up her essential hypocrisy.  Charming.

Finally on Richard Mellon Scaife -- sweet Wolffie called it an "unholy alliance."  Just lovely.

Must let Iranians know there would be massive retaliation should they attack Israel (using nukes?).

I don't mean actual waffles. But that's an interesting issue regarding ex-presidents doing freelance diplomacy.

I also think the nukebrella idea interesting in that it presents the idea of the entire region not being bullied by a nuke-armed Iran. It could be an effective way of isolating Iran from its neighbors, potentially slowing the growth of Iran-supported terrorism and offering some room for further cooperation between countries and organizations that are now enemies.

I also think the potential conditions a H.R. Clinton administration would require for such a nukebrella could yield some positive results. The potential for dealmaking could be tremendous.
