Hillary's debate performance was the beginning of the end for her--a direct hit to her Achilles heel, the perception that she lacked core values. She never recovered. Had she maintained her otherwise impeccable performance, she would have won Iowa and scotched Obama early. One of the greatest gaffes of all time.

Biden made those comments in early 2007. And what about Hillary invoking an RBJ assassination redux as a reason to stay in the race?

Agreed -- Dem gaffe of the year was "bittergate"

Or Hillary's "ducking gunfire" in Bosnia

Or Bill Clinton's gratuitous comparison of Obama's So.Car. victory to Jesse Jacksons.

But, none of the ones presented in the poll

Bittergate and Snipergate. None of the others even come close.
