Bob,
One might not give a hoot as to what Madam Clinton was wearing, but it is easy to draw conclusions by her words, speeches, inflections, and mannerisms since Sept 11th and even before. She is forever the politician reading a prepared speech. The reason why NYers are calling for Guiliani to extend his stay in office is simply his leadership during this crisis. Listen to his extemporaneous, emotional, "I do give a damn and am effected" news conferences, vs. Hillary's almost stoic rehearsed ones. Next she will don a NYFD cap and claim she always loved the NY fire dept even though they would have all voted for Guiliani if he ran for Senate against her.
Yesterday, she looked disinterested; like it was a bother for her to be there. I'm ashamed to have her as my Senator. Hopefully all who voted for her will now realize that a life altering event like this is what matters, not which political party might b.s. their voting base more. Then hopefully they will remember which party is providing true leadership, compare this leadership to heaven forbid a Gore or Leiberman team, or a Dinkins or Koch NY mayorship, and pull the right levers next time.
Cheers,
