For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Is Hillary's air of inevitability fading faster than one of her husband's campaign promises?
She was a disciplined candidate atop a polished campaign, but Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is now mired in the most serious crisis of her 11-month bid for the White House, as a rolling series of missteps threatens to topple her as the Democratic front-runner.
The large crowds that once came to see her have thinned. Trusted campaign surrogates have veered wildly off message. And a campaign operation that had built seemingly impregnable leads over the summer appears to be faltering, prompting former President Clinton to amp up his role as a public spokesman and campaign advisor.
Is this a blip? Is this intentional to focus attention on Obama? Is this a serious roadblock for her candidacy, or something she and hubby will easily navigate?
