Sizing up the Democratic race so far
Hillary Clinton may be having her worst week yet, but it's not clear her challengers can take advantage, despite all the media hype.
Joan Walsh [2007-11-07]

  • Dangerous in the spotlight

    Did anyone see what happened to Obama on Tyra's show? I'd be stiff on the next 50 television shows too, after her questions. Something like, " Can me and my mom(ma) stay in the Lincoln Bedroom? " Huh? Wha? Where's the guy supposed to go with a question like that?

    For a political candidate, or any famous person who cares about reputation, entertainment shows seem dangerous. It appears you can lower the waterline, when you'll be scrutinized even more for just being "yourself" on Letterman or SNL. If you aren't terribly funny and charming, God help you.

    About the frontrunner getting knocked down from all sides. Has there ever been a race when this hasn't happened? Better to be the tortoise than the hare.
