Hillary's One Shooter

Barack Obama mocked Hillary Clinton for trying to portray herself as Annie Oakley with a six-shooter, but the only shooting Hillary did this weekend was Crown Royal:

I read a comment from an Obama supporter somewhere saying it was unsightly and unpresidential for Clinton to be tossing back shots in a bar like a binge drinking college kid. To the contrary, this was one of those moments that made Hillary more likable, not less, even if it was one of the most transparent photo ops imaginable. Hillary would never, ever go drinking beers and shots in a bar like that if she weren't running for president, and everyone knows it, including Barack Obama.

Still, it's all part of reinforcing the narrative. Clinton gets the anti-Dukakis photo op, while Obama gets tagged with Dukakis-style elitism.
