Real issues are not whether Senator Clinton is being aggressive and assertive (things that male politicians get away with without comment), or even if she's being unusually controlling (or "cold" like mama bear in Goldilocks?). Real issues are my health care premiums going up 70% in the last few years. Real issues are the K-12 education system needing a complete overhaul. Real issues are corporations trying to control the creation of content on the Internet. Real issues are the energy situation.
If, as your and Nor Cal's posts evidence, the Republicans stay in their partisan groupthink, their lunch will be eaten.
McCain and Huckabee are your best bets at a decent go of things. They might actually put forward some actual strategies to address real issues.

It's not Republicans that are her problem right now, bro. If this "issue" is evidence of an "implosion" then it is among your Democrat brethren. Maybe you missed the fact that the "plant", Tim Russert, Jonathan Alter, and Michael Crowley are all Democrats?
Maybe you were too obsessed with Republicans to notice.
But to your point, if you think image is irrelevant to a presidential candidacy, then you are kidding yourself. It's not the only factor, obviously, but given that it already is not Hillary's strong suit, this incident only makes things worse.
