A clever piece by the Washington Post's Akira Hakuta about a recent Hillary Clinton appearance in New Hampshire... starting out fierce, ending up limp.

Here's the best summary I've seen of how the candidates are on the stump in New Hampshire, from David Weigel at Reason.com:

Barack Obama arrives late to massive rallies (where half or more of the people in line get turned away, the rooms being just too small) where he uncorks a 30-40 minute stump speech and takes no questions. John McCain busses into hokey town halls where his questions are increasingly friendly and the fire marshalls turn away spectators, who keep trickling in after the events kick off. John Edwards' events go the same way, with smaller crowds. Mike Huckabee holds the goofiest political events since the rise of Screaming Lord Sutch, 60 percent music and Chuck Norris and 40 percent his compassionate conservative spiel. Mitt Romney draws the smallest numbers and turns the most seats empty during his speech.

Aaakiiiraaaa!!

I wonder what opinions and expectations Akira had going in before producing this piece. It seems that he would have cut something similar to this regardless of the footage he shot.

It's not that I don't support or like Hillary, because I do, just not as a presidential candidate. She should stay in the Senate and take over Harry Reid's, position there. I feel she could have a long and successful career there. Her strengths seem to be much better suited to a Senate seat than president. There is too much animosity on the Republican side for her to sway them as president, but she could kick butt as a Senator.

It's actually by Dana Milbank, using footage taken by Akira Hakuta.

Prior to this election cycle, I thought she was better off in the senate too. Then, in another 20 years, it'll be Chelsea's turn.
