DAVENPORT, Iowa - When you're Hillary Clinton, it seems you never get away from the question of bad men in your life.

Clinton's musing about her ability to deal with "evil and bad men" punctuated a town hall meeting Sunday as an Iowa audience erupted with delight in imagining who might be on her list.

Wrapping up her inaugural campaign trip to Iowa as a presidential candidate, the New York senator was breezing through a friendly, policy-laden question-and-answer session when one person asked her how she would handle the kind of men who rule Iran and North Korea.

"We face lot of dangers in the world and in the gentleman's words, we face a lot of evil men," Clinton said in response. "People like Osama bin Laden come to mind."

She added, with a pause and a shrug of her shoulders that seemed to suggest sarcasm: "What in my background equips me to deal with evil and bad men?"

That drew loud laughter, applause, hoots and whistles from the Democratic audience.

Some said afterward they thought she was referring to her suffering with a philandering husband. Others thought it was meant to conjure up people like President Bush or former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

1. She thinks the evil bad man is Obama who is getting under her skin

I just read that Hillary is still playing the catchup and me too game to Obama's leading. With the overwhelming response to his facebook of one million by 2-5, Hillary now has to have one in trying to catch up. Again it is met with a thud.
Last fall when Obama released his 2nd book to overwhelming crowds and hype and a bestseller still in the top ten, Hillary has to do a 'me too' and re releases her 10 year old book to a resounding thud.
Now that Obama's facebook, which is about a week old, has 140k plus members, Hillary is still playing 'me too' by posting her own facebook to 20 members so far.
Gee, who is leading who in this game and who is the clear leader and follower?

3. Please

Hillary leads all the national polls by big margins. Of course, that very well may change, but to say she's playing catch-up to Obama is patently ridiculous.
