Clinton Beats O'Reilly Hands Down

Going up against Fox News' Bill O'Reilly showed real confidence, and Hillary Clinton more than held her own against him. She knew exactly how to handle him--even praising another Irishman, former speaker of the house Tip O'Neill. This duel of the Titans is fun to watch. Smart move.

This LAT piece about the Democrats embracing Fox News misses the point: if there are undecideds and indies and Republicans watching, it's a damned good idea to try to win them over. How strange that one-time Liberal Clinton has morphed into a centrist candidate, thanks to the perception that Obama is far more Liberal. (They're really the same.) Here's a long story in The Nation addressing Clinton's handling of sexism and racism in her campaign.
