Clinton’s “Pile-On” response
-

With a short video of its own, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is offering its own take on last night’s presidential debate in Philadelphia — that she won.
The video, posted on the campaign’s HillaryHub website, and an accompanying statement makes the case that the other candidates ganged up – or piled-on – against Clinton, but that she withstood the challenge.
“Despite the best efforts of her six fellow candidates to trip her up, Senator Clinton stood strong and made her case on critical issues like Iran, Iraq and Social Security,” the statement read. “She kept her focus on the real target in this election: Republicans and the Bush Administration. Instead of going after the other Democrats, Hillary made the argument for why change is needed and why she has the strength and experience to lead the Democratic Party in its efforts to make that change happen.”
The website did not mention Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s license proposal or Clinton’s response when asked about it at the debate.
UPDATE – Clinton’s campaign also issued this statement concering Spitzer’s license plan:
“Senator Clinton supports governors like Governor Spitzer who believe they need such a measure to deal with the crisis caused by this administration’s failure to pass comprehensive immigration reform. As President, her goal will be to pass comprehensive immigration reform that would make this unnecessary.”

Hillary can try whatever she wants. She stepped
on a land mine in the debate, and then it was Dodd,
Obama and Edwards who blew her up.
When even the Hillary-loving MSNBC rips into
her, you know it’s serious.
This was a big moment in the campaign, and
it will hurt Clinton considerably.
Now, a new national poll also shows Giuliani has
pulled ahead of her 45-43, and that poll was done
before this illegals licenses fiasco.
She may still get the Democratic line,
but her shifting postions and waffling are now,
finally, becoming the big issue they should have
been all along.
