"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandates of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them." -- Carl Levin, Sept 19, 2002

By Phillip GaileyOf the political pummeling Hillary Rodham Clinton endured at last week's presidential debate it can be said she had it coming.Riding high in national polls, Mrs. Clinton has been campaigning as if she doesn't want voters to know what she would do as president. She has waffled, evaded, ducked, obfuscated, parsed and misled when pressed for answers on politically delicate issues such as Social Security and illegal immigration. And Slick Hilly — remember Slick Willie? — got away with it until last Wednesday night's debate in Philadelphia, where she stumbled badly two months before the primary voting begins in Iowa and New Hampshire.Her aides portrayed Mrs. Clinton, the runaway front-runner coming into the debate, as the victim of a gang mugging — poor, defenseless Hillary being slapped around by a bunch of mean male bullies. If she was the victim of anything, it was of her own double talk. The Philadelphia event was exactly what a presidential debate should be. Candidates should face tough questions and be held accountable for their answers. Contrary to the post-debate spin of the Clinton campaign, it is not a personal attack or piling on when candidates aggressively grill and challenge each other on important issues facing the next president.Voters don't ask that much of their presidential candidates, just some honest answers and a sense of where they would take the nation if entrusted with the presidency. Sometimes Mrs. Clinton acts like her views are none of the voters' business. How dare anyone try to interfere with her cakewalk to the nomination?Mrs. Clinton is walking a political tightrope between the Democratic primary contest and the general election, between her party's liberal interest groups and average voters. She lost her balance in Philadelphia. At some point she will have to take principled, even unpopular, positions and trust the voters to judge her fairly.
