As Hilary begins to gain more popularity and strength in the polls, as this article indicates, her rivals begin to focus their attention less on their own image, and instead on derailing that of Hilary's. Even advisers and campaign leaders for the other candidates, such as Edwards and Obama, say that she is beginning to pull away.
Is this campaign for the democratic candidate going to become Hilary vs. the rest? How credible is this article in predicting the next 10 months of the campaign, and will we see it reflected in the news. Keep your eyes open... bullets will fly.

Senator Clinton is such an interesting figure in this campaign. Her image is so precarious as well as carefully crafted. She made the SUnday morning news rounds, and in all her interviews something sticks out. She laughed. She giggled. She chuckled. She laughed in all her interviews, trying apparently to come off warmer and friendlier. Jon Stewart joked about her being a robot and quipped, "She'll be the first president you can't spill water on." : ) Funny.
I see the mentality you and the article mention, too. The 'take the front-runner down' mentality. That has been the strategy in many of the previous debates, but it's never really made a dent in her lead in the polls. So we'll see how things go tonight.
