WOLF BLITZER (host): A lot of our viewers, Donna, want to get your analysis of what happened last night among these three Democrats.
BRAZILE: Well, it was a very bare-knuckle fight. And I think for Republicans who are wishing for a Hillary or Obama should be scared, because both candidates showed that they will not be Swift Boated.
Look, I know people don't like bloodsports. I tend to like it. I'm from Louisiana. But I believe that what they did last night was, they brought in their research books and said, you know what, I'm going to fight back. And that's what they did.
JEFFREY: You know, I think it was good for Republicans, but I think it was bad for Hillary, even though I think she's probably going to get the nomination.
There was a moment there in the debate, Wolf, where it looked like, if someone had splashed water on Hillary, she would have melted like the Wicked Witch of the West.
BRAZILE: Oh, that's awful.
JEFFREY: There's two characteristics about Hillary Clinton that I think came out in the debate that would play against her in a general election. One was her demeanor. She did very well in the New Hampshire debate, when she was charming and deflected tough questions with a smile and a laugh. She didn't do that last night. The second is the question Obama was hitting hard last night, hitting hard today, is the truthfulness of the Clintons.
BRAZILE: You know, if that was Margaret Thatcher, you would be here salivating. You would be the one with the water.
