PHILADELPHIA - - We now know something that we did not know before: When Hillary Clinton has a bad night, she really has a bad night.
In a debate against six Democratic opponents at Drexel University here Tuesday, Clinton gave the worst performance of her entire campaign.
It was not just that her answer about whether illegal immigrants should be issued drivers’ licenses was at best incomprehensible and at worst misleading.
It was that for two hours she dodged and weaved, parsed and stonewalled.
And when it was over, both the Barack Obama and John Edwards campaigns signaled that in the weeks ahead they intend to hammer home a simple message: Hillary Clinton does not say what she means or mean what she says.
And she gave them plenty of ammunition Tuesday night.
Asked whether she still agrees with New York Governor Eliot Spitzer’s plan to give drivers licenses to illegal immigrants, Clinton launched into a long, complicated defense of it.
But when Chris Dodd attacked the idea a moment later, Clinton quickly said: “I did not say that it should be done.”
NBC’s Tim Russert, one of the debate moderators, jumped in and said to her: “You told (a) New Hampshire paper that it made a lot of sense. Do you support his plan?”
”You know, Tim,” Clinton replied, “this is where everybody plays ‘gotcha.’ ”

MSM :
Poor little girl was abused by a gang of mean boys....
My guess is he's talking about Edwards (but maybe Richardson)... don't underestimate the power of the AFL-CIO in picking the Democratic nominee. It worked for Kerry.
Since her high negatives aren't enough evidence for RATS, maybe last night was. When they figure out she is no Bill Clinton, she is in trouble. It would be interesting to have the national archive records released. The record will show she was in disagreement with Bill on many issues.
I dont think that royal b*tch can win in the general election, so I do hope she gets the nomination.
Welcome to the NFL, Hill.
But the Dems have the opportunity to elect the first female, first black or first Hispanic president. After much soul searching and wearing of hearts on sleeves, they'll vote for the White Guy from the South like they usually do.
Hillary sucked at last night’s debate.
So Idiot Spitzer threw a monkey wrench into Hillary’s campaign? How appropriate.
BJ Clinton and his third term... break out the cigars and the interns.
I still think Gore is going to jump in.
This particular line, I think, revealed her psychotic and paranoid personality. In spades.
Well....alot of idiots ‘like MR. Clinton and they see it as putting him back in the WH....not her.
