Once again, Hillary's opponents have failed to grasp that when they attack her over phoney "issues" that are trumped-up by the mainstream media, they only help her campaign. The proof is in the latest Rasmussen tracking poll, which finds:
Tuesday night’s debate was not Hillary Clinton’s finest moment of the campaign season, but there has been little or no immediate damage to her standing in the national polls. In fact, if anything, support for Clinton has ticked up a bit since she stumbled on an answer to questions about drivers licenses for illegal aliens.
Rasmussen's article continues,
Data from the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll shows that on the two nights following the debate (Wednesday and Thursday) Clinton held a 45% to 18% lead over Barack Obama. For Clinton, that’s an improvement from Monday and Tuesday nights when her lead over Obama had been 40% to 24%.
The politics of "piling on" that are being invoked by the second and third-tier candidates is nothing short of irrational bullying:
Hillary continues to run the most intelligent and diligent presidential campaign of any Democratic candidate in modern history. She has shown that she will fight back when subjected to irrational and desperate attacks from other candidates who are floundering in the polls, but she has kept her sights on the White House and continues to blast the Bush/Cheney regime and its corruption, incompetence, and laziness.
