After all those years spent learning from the master, it's no surprise that her candidate's persona last week was profoundly Clintonian--by turns folksy and falsely humble, dazzlingly smart and suddenly peremptory, as when she ignored or brushed aside inconvenient questions about the Lewinsky scandal (the affair that helped make this run possible, after all, by boosting sympathy and softening her image). All week long she tried her best to stick to a script that called on her to listen and learn, seeming to absorb knowledge and wisdom from local experts and average folks in Oneonta, Cooperstown, Utica...

During one gravity-defying stretch, he appeared on at least one of the influential Sunday-morning shows for 10 straight weeks. He was a guest at various times on no fewer than 11 other programs...
