 What Clinton's Gaffe Says About Her Campaign
By Blake D. DvorakIt is hard to exaggerate the reaction in the media and among presidential contenders to Hillary Clinton's debate gaffe Tuesday night. Everyone, it seems, has been waiting since about the time Barack Obama joined the race (in January) for something, anything, to jolt the stagnant Democratic field. Everyone of course, except Hillary Clinton.

By Blake D. DvorakIt is hard to exaggerate the reaction in the media and among presidential contenders to Hillary Clinton's debate gaffe Tuesday night. Everyone, it seems, has been waiting since about the time Barack Obama joined the race (in January) for something, anything, to jolt the stagnant Democratic field. Everyone of course, except Hillary Clinton.So kudos to Chris Dodd, who in the final 10 minutes of a two-hour debate was paying enough attention to raise his hand as the sole opponent of Gov. Eliot Spitzer's plan to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. By doing so, Dodd kept the issue going much longer than the allotted 30-seconds, and he kept Clinton talking.Which was important, because it was Clinton, not Dodd, or John Edwards, or Barack Obama, who called herself out on her own obfuscation. While Dodd was talking, Clinton interrupted to correct him on his point that she supported Spitzer's plan. She didn't, she said.Finally, like a clap of thunder during the so-called "lightning round," there it was: something new. Moderator Tim Russert, who until that moment appeared content to let Clinton get away with her peevish first answer, pounced like a good journalist. And so, before a bored audience knew what had happened, there was suddenly life in the Democratic presidential race.But let's not get too caught up in the hype, much of which can be explained by the simple fact that Clinton's answer has been the only somewhat consequential thing to happen in this race in a while. Nevertheless, the excitement coming from the Edwards and Obama camps following the debate is justified, if only because it's Clinton's first big mistake.
