Is Hillary better equipped to defend herself from right wing attacks?

[calteacherguy]

Last night's poll:

The Republican plan is to use the war, and the patriotic fervor that seems to swell up around every new military adventure, to kick ass next November, branding us Democrats as weak, indecisive and obstructionist... if not out-and-out traitors.

Poll result (46 votes)
agree (41 votes, 89%)
disgree (5 votes, 11%)

It would seem that DU'er (even with this small sample) overwhelmingly agree with the statement. Given that reality, here is tonight's poll quesiton:

Would Hillary Clinton, because of her experience, be better equipped to defend herself from these sorts of attacks than the other top-tier candidates?

1. Thanks again to all who have voted; there will be another follow-up poll tomorrow evening. nt

2. Is she ready to take them? Oh yes. Better prepared than the others? Nope.

Obama and Edwards have shown no mercy whenever the GOP tries to mess with them.

3. Obama has made certain statements I believe could be used against him, effectively.

So has Edwards, although at this point Edwards is irrelevant, imo.

As far as I know, Clinton has made no such statements.

4. Edwards is far from irrelevant but you have always taken every shot you can at him

It is sad really.

5. It's about fighting back, and the three of them have what it takes.

The idea that Clinton is better equiped to fight them is fantasy.
