I'm a life long Democrat. Supported H. C. in 2008 but jumped ship and voted for Obama.
I like the Clintons, and think she'd make a great President.
But (you knew it was coming) I thought she looked old and uninspiring in her press conference today.
I'd like to see a couple primary opponents challenge her to wake her up and give her more spirit.
JMHO

(15,805 posts)about the women's conference (which is the occasion that brought her there), she'd likely have answered with the enthusiasm that has marked her decades-long devotion to the furtherance of women's issues.
Her responses to the email queries were delivered from an emotional level appropriate to the relevance of the issue.

(65,406 posts)and energetic as she does or as she did during that press conference. My only complaint, and I hope she and her handlers watch the video and correct her on it--is that she kept aiming her eyes too high after looking down at her notes. She needs to aim them at a level that will allow viewers to feel that she is looking them in the eye as she speaks, not that she is staring up at the ceiling.
Remember how goofy Michelle Bachman looked when she made the mistake of delivering her SOTU rebuttal to the wrong camera? That is something like the effect I think Hillary produced by looking upward the way she did as she spoke. She needs to practice in front of cameras to avoid doing that again.

(12,409 posts)I missed the visual you gave of the presser! I saw none of that which you described.... I saw an articulate, focused and humble Hillary Clinton.

You know the Republicans are going to say worse about Hillary.
Democrats need someone to lead into the future.
All Hillary will give the voters is a trip down memory lane, and it ain't all that good.
Someone younger, without the Clinton baggage, would be a better candidate.
And who dressed her in those "granny clothes" for the press conference?
And those bags under her eyes. She can afford a little plastic surgery, for God's sake!
Martin O'Malley, former Governor of Maryland, would be a much better choice.
