There's a whole lot of win in that video.

And also some fail. (Depending on who you support.)

Although, I understand that all politicians at this level are likely to be too ambitious to be truly likable and honest characters, Hillary is just too much unbridled ambitions. She has failed to show any sign to me that she is anything more than a voracious political machine. While we should expect some narcissism from any presidential candidate, it seems that she is nothing else, no character whatsoever. Actually, I don't expect the result of this election to have too much foreseeable effect on policy.

Transcript from a comment on this thread:

Edwards the December 13 debate:
What's not at stake are any of us. All of us are going to be just fine no matter what happens in this election. But what's at stake is whether America is going to be fine.

Hillary at yesterday's debate:
You know, whatever happens, we're going to be fine. You know, we have strong support from our families and our friends. I just hope that we'll be able to say the same thing about the American people. And that's what this election should be about.

The youtube video shows both segments.

This is very likely going to be one of the final coup de graces of the Clinton campaign.

When a huge portion of your floundering campaign is based on your opponent's plagiarism (which isn't actually plagiarism), and then get caught doing it yourself (which, considering Edwards threw his support to Obama, I doubt she had permission like Obama)... well...

Wow, Ms. Clinton, how'd you get up there? Really?

Now, is that your own petard, or do you rent?

(Actually, it doesn't matter a damn that someone else has also thought what she's thinking, has also said what she's said. No more than it mattered a few weeks ago.)

As a side note, her delivery was terrible as well.

B-b-b-but people don't want to vote for her for her rhetoric!

This is perhaps the worst political attack I've ever seen. Not only is it totally ridiculous, but it's poorly executed as well. To make matters worse, Hillary is actively trying to fall into the negative stereotypes people associate with her (big government technocrat, mean-spirited attack dog) and then use those stereotypes to her advantage. This is precisely why I'm sick of politicians trying to appear "strong." It comes across looking cartoonish.

I've been an Obama supporter for a while now. I have to say she certainly didn't do anything that would even remotely sway me. I'm glad Obama hammered her on her willingness to garnish the wages of adults for her healthcare plan and not allowing people to opt out. The whole change you can xerox line fell completely flat, and even her supposedly emotional last answer seemed stilted and rehearsed to me. I thought she was also a bit snippy to the moderators. So basically I agree with you, even if I had supported her before, I wouldn't now.

you know when she gave that line, "we will be fine" and shook his hand she looked defeated. She knows her time is up and she might bow out in style.

Louder And More Dissonant:

Very apt. A petard is a shaped charge used to breach an enemies defenses and what is rhetoric but words shaped to achieve an end? The word petard has its origin in breaking wind, aka farting,

Hillary and John are good friends, so she's not plagiarizing! Right?

I know it looks like Empanada at first glance. Empanda though is an obscure Roman goddess (of hospitality and open honesty) and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with empanadas or pandas apparently.

All the political tricks that are supposed to work just aren't against Obama. She goes negative and he turns it on her. She pays through the nose for high powered consultants, and he beats her on the ground with an amazing organization that costs half as much as hers if not less and he still pulls in more money. Her party backing is more than nullified by his broader political appeal. She wins the big states and he rattles off almost a dozen straight wins. It must be driving her batty.

The partisan wants the opposition to field an easily defeated candidate The patriot wants real contenders.

So I'm guessing Hillary writes all of her own speeches and that she will continue to do so in the future whether as Senator or President?

Yes. It suggests she has the possibility of losing in her mind.
