Michael Goodwin makes a good point that Hillary is starting to look unpresidential. Between the Xerox comment and her odd decision to mock Obama. I'm wondering if Hillary has lost all objectivity. Certainly she must understand that Obama is striking a cord with voters. If she has any chance of winning by the margin she needs in Ohio and Texas she needs to go beyond mocking her competition. She may solidify her base with these tactics but that's not going to help her win. She needs to come out with her own vision of change and progress that actually resonates with America. If she wasn't taking all this personally she would see that Obama supporters are not her enemy and his message is not attacking her. All she's doing is highlighting why people like Obama. Monday we'll see Obama ahead in Texas and within 5 points in Ohio, demonstrating just how much the Xerox comment didn't help her in the debate.
A quick prediction... Hillary will have at least 3 more major press making gaffs between now and March 5. She is getting cornered and that is going to force her to try some crazy ideas.
