2. Tried to watch....
...and then my picture went out, but at least I could hear it. I'd have liked to see the visuals too. She didn't answer my question, but oh well. :) She was poised and articulate, but I'd have liked to see a little more intensity and passion. Still, I thought it was well-done, and if I think of it, I'll catch the one tomorrow night as well.

4. Just got the very end of it. On my player, the speech and the picture didn't match.
I just got broadband so it may be that I am doing something wrong. Will watch the repeat later. The part that I did see looked good. She looked relaxed but in charge of the conversation. Shw alway knows her stuff. I really, really like her but still have not decided between her and Edwards.

5. I was very impressed as well. She was very candid and got quite passionate on issues like...

...alternative energy and healthcare. The environment being my biggest issue, I was happy to see that she wasn't just status-quo-Democrat on that issue and instead seemed very ambitious and even somewhat aggressive on those issues.

She also began with the IWR issue and I thought she did very well explaining her vote, though I wouldn't have voted the same way.

7. I thought her demeanor was pleasant
and she looked fabulous. She appears open to suggestions, one of the best qualities in a politician in my opinion. She has an ambitious agenda.

8. I thought it was a good idea
I liked what I saw - it seemed a little formal and stage-managed, though I guess I wouldn't expect anything different. I thought she did a good job, though, although she needs to work at being a bit more concise.

9. I have to admit she did well
This format works well for her -- she's not quite so forced and shrill. I'm still quite skeptical of her but I think this use of the 'net is great and I wish other candidates would do the same. (John Edwards may have done something similar.)

11. I live blogged it for my blog and what struck me was that it was not
representative of the population as a whole

Every question except one was from women(possibly a second with the 15 year old who was a Mattie or Maddie)

Men don't blog? Men don't want to live chat with someone running for President? Men don't want to talk to a woman running for President?

Or her "blog consultant" needs a talking to about choosing who gets to ask questions:
Was it in order, or were the questions picked by topic, or weren't there any men asking the questions?

12. I actually LIKE Hillary's voice and her style of talking, but the last few years, I really don't
like WHAT she is saying most of the time.
