Hillary Clinton is quite likeable and a really good speaker and she obviously has very committed people work her; but blogdamn, what the hell is thinking when they take up seats so they can look like there are cheerleaders in the crowd, in a room where there is only standing room. NO! It just looks bad.

THAT SAID, I really, really like listening to Hillary Clinton speak. Eons ago, when I used to work as a translator, I had to translate transcript of her speeches and interviews with friends and family members. She is listenable. She definitely knows how to turn on the charm; YET just comes out as extremely measured. After the "town hall" meeting, a couple of "on the fencers" gave her a B.

Here's some notes of the whole thing. More introspection coming later.
