I was out Drinking Liberally, so I'm just catching a bit of the AFL-CIO forum now. Completely leaving aside any substance, I'm struck by how much better Hillary Clinton comes across in person than on the teevee. While Clinton took some hits at the Yearly Kos forum, my bet is that any negatives were vastly overwhelmed by the fact that when people see Clinton in person they're shocked that she doesn't come across as her cold and uncaring caricature. Oddly, she does come across that way on the teevee. It's weird.
...adding, just realized I overstated the case a bit. I don't think Clinton comes across horribly on teevee, but the fact is that in person she's actually really good. And this surprises people.
