Hillary's new tactic: Likeable by Association
How many times did she bring up the 90's and the "clinton administration" tonight? And Ed Rendell? And the policies of her husband as if she had anything to do with them.
And of course she always phrased in the broadest term of "we" so that if called on it, she could say, "we as democrats" or "we as americans"...
But it's one of a very small number of tactics a candidate with sky high negatives and whom 6 in 10 voters think has honesty "issues" has.
But it sooo obvious to anyone who's paying attention and it looks really shameless.

Obama knocked her back on her heels over the social security question her husband's solution. She started out with a sure-sounding approach, then kinda was caught, and said, well, we'll work it out somehow.
Good going Obama.

Uh Oh! Hillary channeling Rudy. How many times did Hillary mention 9/11 tonight? Looks like we are getting a taste of the new campaign strategy.
