A couple notes on Hillary's speech
1) Clinton started out with "I found my voice." Showing some emotion and being less "strong politician" helped. And I think that includes the moment in the debate when she got angry, not just getting choked up at that appearance.

2) The focus was clearly on "you, you, you," instead of "I, I, I." Your issues, your problems, etc., instead of my experience, my vision, etc. This is something that pundits have focused on in the last few days and their campaign clearly got the message.

I don't know if this signifies Penn is out (or less influential), but I definitely think it signals a change in the way she'll handle herself during the campaign.

1. Her speech was awful. How could they let her go up there with that after Obama?

Her speech wasn't as lofty as Obama's but I think it showed what it had to show
which is that her campaign wasn't out of touch, that they were aware of what people were thinking in the run-up to the primary.

8. Completely out of touch for me.
Maybe she'll choose Lieberman as her VP running mate? That would be match made in heaven, wouldn't it?

5. The Iron Maiden persona went out.....,
how can you be cold and then try to connect with the voter. People want strong presidents but ones that relate to them.
