Hillary & The Democratic Presidential Candidates' Latest Debate

These past few weeks have seen the campaign for the Democratic party's Presidential nomination become much more turbulent than most pundits would apparently have guessed.

As this YouTube clipped demonstrates, Hillary has now defined any criticism of her stands and actions, coming from her rivals in her own party, as "mudslinging."



Whether or not, as the clip's final message contends, it's a Republican tactic, which, by the way, at least this election season, it isn't, is true, is another issue.

What is illuminating is how many voters and this YouTube poster feel Hillary is running for cover behind her gender and, now, the retort of 'mudslinging' when her fellow Presidential candidates legitimately question her shifting positions on a variety of issues.

I suspect that Hillary's lead may weaken. Even if it does not, what will get her by an inexperienced Obama and a populist Edwards won't beat Giuliani or Romney.
