Hillary tells Katie about Edwards and Obama's "buddy system"

Still flush from her once-assumed, then denied, then resumed victory in the New Hampshire Primary, Hillary Clinton spoke with Katie Couric, who used to be a popular morning talk show host but is now doing Nutri-System® commercials or something, I think. Via CBSNews.com:


COURIC: Some observers believe that moment when you got emotional on Monday when your voice cracked and your eyes welled up that that humanized you and made you much more attractive to women voters.

CLINTON: That moment, which obviously I've heard a lot about since, gave people maybe some insight into the fact that I don't see politics as a game. You know, I don't see it as some kind of a traveling entertainment show where, you know, you get up and you perform and you go on to the next venue. You know, for me it is a way of figuring out what we stand for, what our values are, and getting in a position to actually help people.

COURIC: Will you be willing now to reveal more of yourself and be less reserved?

CLINTON: Well, you know, one of my young friends said well, that was like Hillary unplugged. I thought, "OK, I can't sing, I can't play an instrument. But, you know, I will try to let people know enough about me to know that, you know, I don't need to go back and live in the White House. That's not why I'm doing this. I certainly don't need anymore name recognition. And, I mean, I just want to try to convey that we're going to have to make some big decisions in this country." This is the toughest job in the world. I was laughing because you know in that debate, obviously Sen. Edwards and Sen. Obama were kind of in the buddy system on the stage. And I was thinking whoever's up against the Republican nominee in the election debates come the fall is not gonna have a buddy to fall back on. You know, you're all by yourself. When you're president, you're there all by yourself.


Read the rest at the link above. Hmmm . . . she'll be "all by [her]self," eh? Where will Bill be? But I think she made her point. The boys are ganging up on her because neither of them can beat up the girl alone. They're a couple of pretty boys in expensive suits with about as much substance as the lingering fragrance of their cologne . . . Hillary's just too nice to put it that bluntly. ;-)
