Two Hillarys?

Meghan Louttit   Managing Editor

Isn't it pathetically predictable that Brian Williams started off the debate questioning Sen. Hillary Clinton about her mismatched tones over the past week since the debate in Austin, Texas?

If I were Clinton I would say "shame on you" NBC for opening what should be a detailed, substantive debate about the array of issues facing Ohio and the country with silly questions regarding her emotional responses and Drudge's photo claims.

Clinton responded well by keeping her cool and focusing her answer on her health care plan. As Obama started doing with his response.

The candidates clearly recognize that health care is a vital issue, and they are getting into the details of an issue that had started to feel stale.

Clinton is clearly taking the lead on this one...even as Brian Williams repeatedly asks if they can change the subject.
