PHILADELPHIA \u2014 We now know something that we did not know before: When Hillary Clinton has a bad night, she really has a bad night. In a debate against six Democratic opponents at Drexel University here Tuesday, Clinton gave the worst performance of her entire campaign. (….)<\/p>\n

John Edwards immediately went for the jugular. \u201cUnless I missed something,\u201d he said, \u201cSen. Clinton said two different things in the course of about two minutes. America is looking for a president who will say the same thing, who will be consistent, who will be straight with them.\u201d <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Barack Obama added: \u201cI was confused [by] Sen. Clinton’s answer. I can’t tell whether she was for it or against it. One of the things that we have to do in this country is to be honest about the challenges that we face.\u201d <\/p>\n

Earlier, when Clinton was asked whether she had made one statement on Social Security publicly and a conflicting answer privately, she ducked the question, saying she believed in \u201cfiscal responsibility.\u201d <\/p>\n

And when Russert asked her if she would make public certain communications between herself and President Clinton when she was first lady, she responded weakly: \u201cWell, that\u2019s not my decision to make.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps just as bad was her general tone and demeanor. All of her opponents seemed passionate about one issue or another. But Clinton seemed largely emotionless and detached, often just mouthing rehearsed answers from her briefing book. <\/p>\n
