So, how do you view her performance on The Factor?

I think she did very well. She was engaging, relaxed, stuck to her positions, the banter back and forth was "cute", charming at times (please, cut my tongue out), and she basically slugged it out with the guy, and looked good doing it.

I would just as soon have someone cut my hands off than vote for Hill&Bill, but I have to say, I do admire her, as a woman. She IS tough and a very good politician.

If I had to choose between Obama and Clinton - hands down Hill.

Sure but does she have the smarts and advisors to successfully lead the country? There are issues and there are challenges and her stance on the gas tax is not comforting to the economist.

And you think Obama comforted them with his naive, clueless remarks about capital gains?

And you think maybe Obama does? We know McCain does.

If a choice can be made, I surely hope that if that 3 AM call comes that it's Cindy that hands the phone to John, if not, I'll take Hill (she'll be sleeping alone).

She definitely has the smarts... and why wouldn't she have good advisors on her staff? As it is, she already knows more than Obama so that with her team of advisors, she could make good sound decisions much faster than Obama could. He's going to need a lot more time than the other two candidates to be brought up to speed.

Being our president, especially in these trying times is indeed the toughest job in the world.

Back to the original question, I thought she handled herself rather well. Though I am not a supporter of hers, she certainly has the ability to handle herself well in difficult situations, and is very tough.

Again, back to the original question, she came across as having a very solid grasp of detailed issues. For the first time, we saw a comprehensive give and take with one of the candidates.

For the life of me, I do not understand why Obama would rather dance with Ellen or be called a hunk on the View instead of showing us what mastery of the details he has.

I am not a supporter of Hillary, but agree that she did well. I think this is the best interview she's ever done. I think it helped her to be on a show like The Factor where she didn't know what was coming and had to respond as she is rather than spouting rehearsed talking points like they do in most interviews.
