As pointed out on Keith Olbermann's post analysis, Hillary's words: "I'm Still Here." That was Hillary's posturing, recognizing that Obama is the presumptive nominee. But what she really accomplished was a weak cover act for John McCain. Nothing more than a warm-up exercise for Obama, who when asked ridiculous, non-issue "surprise" questions, was quite equipped and prepared to shut them down.
Even with Stephanopolis getting fed questions from Hannity and RW hate-radio, Obama handled them with grace and dignity. When Clinton tried to build on them, for example saying how eggregious it would be for Obama in the General Election to have served on a charity board with Ayers, he adeptly parlayed her attack and allowed her to fall on her own sword by pointing out that her husband pardoned two members of Weather Underground and she would face worse criticism for it.
While it was pile-on Obama night from RW hate media through Stephanopolis and the direct debate from Gibson himself, Clinton lost it by acting as McCain's voice-box. She proved she is nothing more than the cover act for the General Election.
