Okay, I'm supposed to be on strike for cold. But I couldn't resist when I saw that:

Cartoon of a giant Hillary squeezing Obama and Edwards with her two feet

The last few days have been quite tough for Hillary in her bid to the White House. First, during a debate with fellow Democrat candidates, her rivals piled on her when she side-stepped a question, feeling free to deliberately despise her. Then, a student girl taking part of one of her rallies claimed on TV that Hillary Clinton's campaign staff told her to ask a specific question at a precise moment in the meeting. After that, a female supporter of Republican John McCain asked him: "How do we beat the bitch?", which started again the debate about the electability of Hillary Clinton.

And then, last week, a new televised debate among Democrats occured and she striked back. When her rivals criticised her, she sent each of them go look at themselves: Edwards attacked her, she reminded the audience that back in 2004, he was not supporting universal health care although she tried to pass the bill in Congress more than ten years ago. Even though the warning seemed clear, it was not clear enough for Obama who tried his turn, she then looked at the audience and stated that Obama's health care plan leaves 15 millions Americans behind. Roughly, the message she sent that night was "I'm not perfect but you guys, you're not any better, so stop bothering me with your bullshit!". I think the debate is definitely over among Democrats and that Hillary is going to absorb her rivals' percentages in the next few weeks.
