Maggie Hassan, the sitting governor of New Hampshire and candidate for U.S. Senate, is raising eyebrows among reporters for a press release and a tweet touting an article attacking her opponent. Why? The article Hassan cites is from Wonkette.com, an ultra-liberal blog that describes itself as “A vile socialist anti-Christian propaganda blog.” [Read more…]
Not 24 hours after Hillary Clinton wrapped up the first Democratic presidential debate, she is getting hit with questions about her private email set up and why she made the seemingly bizarre choice to trust a small firm with such sensitive, unprotected information. [Read more…]
Things aren’t going well for Ohio’s Ted Strickland so far this week. First, he had to trot out extremely underwhelming fundraising numbers…again. [Read more…]
The reviews are in from reporters and commentators about Hillary Clinton’s performance in the first Democratic presidential debate, and they include words like “non-answer,” “parody-worthy,” “evasive,” “synthetic,” “[John] Kerryesque,” “politically expedient” and “tepid and reactive,” to name just a few.

During last night’s Democratic presidential debate, moderator Anderson Cooper put Hillary Clinton on the spot for flip flopping on key issues, from the Keystone pipeline, to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), to President Obama’s immigration policies: [Read more…]
MSNBC’s Morning Joe panel considered Hillary Clinton’s answers about Keystone and TPP among her worst moments in last night’s debate.
Joe Scarborough compared Clinton’s Keystone comments to John Kerry saying, “I voted for it before I voted against it.”
While Willie Geist pointed out that Clinton had indeed called TPP the gold standard “over and over again.”
Anderson goes right after Hillary on consistency. Ruh roh. "Will you say anything to get elected?"

Hillary Clinton has problems with the trade deal that she says she read but which hasn't been made public yet
— Edward-Isaac Dovere (@IsaacDovere) October 14, 2015
Clinton strongly supported early versions of the TPP that were *worse* on pharmaceuticals and currency manipulation http://t.co/wpKiJiWMiQ

So, yes, the Clinton folks are worried about Sanders.
— Chris Cillizza (@TheFix) October 14, 2015
So, first real attack is Clinton on Sanders. That feels too aggressive.

First big boo-boo by @HillaryClinton on admitting flip flops
— Glenn Thrush (@GlennThrush) October 14, 2015
Clinton clearly is sensitive to the flip-flop issue. #NBC2016

Clinton, echoes of Kerry in '04: "I never took a position on Keystone until I took a position on Keystone." #CNNDebate
— Ken Thomas (@KThomasDC) October 14, 2015
That quote is going to come back again. Clinton: "I never took a position on Keystone until I took a position on Keystone." #DemDebate

Hillary Clinton said she only recently took position on Keystone. But said State "inclined" to support in 2010 http://t.co/cObYcWQepO

Hillary's answer on Syria is babble
— Adam Serwer (@AdamSerwer) October 14, 2015
Clinton's answer on Syria surprisingly weak

Watch Hillary run toward and against Obama's foreign policy at the same time. Amazing. #DemDebate

The Iraq war vote was 12 years ago. It is STILL haunting Hillary Clinton. #DemDebate

Clinton just reminded audience that Pres. Obama technically made the Libyan decision. Of course, Clinton was a BIG advocate
— Chuck Todd (@chucktodd) October 14, 2015
I don't think pointing to the uh, democratic beacon that Libya has become is a good strategy for HRC

Clinton said her email account was “allowed" by State. It’s not that simple, as we have written before. #DemDebate http://t.co/kEPXXASyOL

Clinton saying that her the State Department "allowed" her to use private email server is quite a stretch. http://t.co/ObVuZai6WV

1 of the biggest stories of the night: Hillary goes out of her way to NOT distance herself with Obama when everyone else does.
— James Hohmann (@jameshohmann) October 14, 2015
Clinton hugs Obama very tightly. Basically, she says she will run for Obama's third term.

Hillary wants to make sure that all Americans can get 6-figure speaking gigs & 8-figure book deals.

Interesting that @HillaryClinton stumbling more on banks than emails

Hillary won't directly answer if undocumented immigrants should get in state college tuition. Says she'll support if a certain state does.
