I saw it as trying to show that the Clinton camp is frustrated and is lashing out negatively to try to raise their numbers. Anyone with any awareness of Hillary's age will see that it's absurd to try to claim she has PMS or any such thing. Once again, they are trying to cast her in the role of victim--and that's a cheap and cowardly way to try to get sympathy votes. As a female, I'm ashamed at the way she tries to use her sex as a way to influence voters. If Obama were to (and I don't think he ever would) try to use his race to gain votes, imagine the outcry that would come from the Clintons. But here they are, using the image of a "poor victimized woman". How Rovian--to accuse your opponent of doing what you are doing already. Hillary’s supporters are really grasping at straws here.
