It's amusing that about half the bloggers and columnists have been saying "Shame on those Mean Men for Bullying Hillary" and the other half are saying "She's in Politics and All's Fair". I must say I agree with the latter.
It would be foolish of Senator Clinton's opponents to keep mollycoddling her. If they have a bone to pick, go for it! They won't make any points by opening all the doors for her. Conversely, the only way she's going to win this election (if she does) and, more importantly, the one to come is to start fielding some of the hardballs. She needs to exercise her ability to hit back so she doesn't lose it.
If she can't defend herself among her own, she certainly won't be able to do it against the Swift Boating, Karl Rove types who are just waiting to start pounding her.
We need all the candidates to defend their positions and to call out the others who aren't being straight with us so that we can make an informed choice. Hillary can take care of herself.
