You see: this is exactly what I mean about your slavish devotion to Clinton and (as a correllary) your irrational hatred for Rudy.

I gave Clinton credit for her behavior during the hostage situation, but then noted that it seemingly hadn't translated to a bounce or additional good will. Hardly an attack on her, simply an observation. Furthermore, you don't seem to particulary disagree, having noted yourself "[the hostage crisis] isn't going to create any significant type of bounce by itself."

Despite this seeming agreement, you have to keep trying to bolster your candidate in ways that don't make sense (your bizarre reading of polling data) and now, go on the attack against Guiliani for something that has nothing to do with him.
