From the debate...

Here is a new video Hil posted following the debate... share your thoughts! This was emailed to those who signed up to receive email communication from her campaign. The email was sent by "Terry McAuliffe."

I like this message much more than the more negative messages that Clinton is also sending. This gives me a sense that she has honest and benevolent reasons for wanting to be president and it helps humanize her. It seems like she has decided to blend her criticism of Obama with this more positive and unifying message, and I don't think that is a bad idea in principle, but some of her criticisms do not resonate well with me.
For example, I was not a fan of the way she discussed plagiarism in the debate and her recent "shame on you" speech (http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/23/clinton.mailings/index.html#cnnSTCVideo)
wasn't doing it for me either. It gives me the sense that Clinton is looking for places to draw blood and detracts from the honest, benevolent feelings created by moments like the above clip.

As an aside, while I did see this clip on some news coverage of the debate, it is not on the "extensive" video archive that CNN is offering. I have been unable to locate the full debate anywhere and didn't get to see it live, so their clips are all I have. If anyone finds a full copy online post it here, I'm interested.
