When the Washington Post's Pulitzer Prize-winning Robin Givhan wrote an article on Hillary showing a little more up top, the campaign said it was "insulted." The story has taken on a few more lives since then: articles about the original article, and plenty of reader response.
What do you think? Under which circumstances should Hillary show more? And under which circumstances should she show less?
Watch and find out what others think of Hillary's cleavage!

1. Who really cares if a woman shows cleavage, presidential canidate or not? Honestly people, let's find something better to talk about.

2. Think she should show more. It's slimming, though perhaps a "lift" is in order. - R www.reginalewis.com

3. Well Mo, the only way I can discuss this topic is via poetry.
An Ode To Hillary
Pant suits or suit and tie.
Everybody's so angry and I don't know why.
What's too much and what's too less?
What will Hillary wear next?
Maybe a polka dot striped dress,
or a conservative turtleneck.
Who really knows or who really cares?
The Senate looks on and stares.
Pretends Hillary's cleavage isn't there,
Just saying "Oh, we were just looking at your hair."
So if she’s waging war on Tahiti
or stealing health care from people who are needy,
all the media attention will just go to her chest.
And your fears of war and strife can be put to rest,
because the media has nothing better to report on.
It makes me want to yawn.
Liberal pansies and right wing nuts,
Bill O’Reilly and his usual smut.
What are we going to do?
Talk about Hillary’s breasts
while Rosie still complains about The View.
I don’t think anyone is impressed.
Obama’s blackness has come into question,
And now Hillary’s mammaries are giving
Harry Reid an erection.
Maybe this will affect the election.
Probably not but that’s the news for you.
It makes less sense than it ought to.
But thanks Hillary for getting our minds off Iraq,
abortion, gay marriage and
the debate if Obama is really black.

4. Aw, now discussing Hillary's cleavage is a lot like
staring at her breasts. Is there a point to this?
I could see if she were sagging in the polls, but she appears to be the healthiest candidate running.
Why not look for Kucinich's third eye, or Biden's second head? Hint (it's in his belly.)
Isn't it time we got over infantile fantasies and let our momma run the government?
After all, our father would declare war and then take August off because it is "Hard Work."

5. holy coW if you have a nice package, show it off... as a conservative... "women have they're place woman", then hey, sweetheart, press those arms down, make them salute and then show everyone what you have upstairs and in your head! (and yes, i'm a stay at home mom who remebers the cookie b.s. but loves a smartie like me)

6. Nice. But I am still po'd that I wasn't breast fed. Can't really compare to Pelosi's anyway.

7. If Hillary is sagging in the polls then she just gave her campaigne a shot of silicone. Check out this site:

8. Hillary has cleavage? I didn't know that. Since she wears baggy suits, I never even noticed her bustline.

9. I don't mean to copy the other guy who did a poem for a comment but i think i came up with a pretty good poem:
Mo I think that you are whack
Who cares if Obama's black?
I think that Hilary is the best
Who gives a hoot about her chest?
Her boobs might get more men to vote
If you think she reveals too much
tell her to wear a coat
It won't change who wins the race
i wish i could say this stuff to your face
Sometimes your a funny guy
But sometimes i wonder if u are high
These politians are crazy enough
why distract them with her bust?

10. Yes, please lets all focus on what the woman is wearing or how much of it she is wearing instead of, oh I don't know, what she has to say? There are alot of issues being addressed and it upsets me that many would rather see her breasts then her points.

11. First of all, we must keep in mind that before a politician, Hillary is a woman. She has needs, emotions, and a sexuality. I think she's making a step in the right direction by embracing her sexuality and femininity instead of hiding it. She will never win an election by trying to be "one of the boys." Trying to have America overlook the fact that she is a woman is an impossible task because that is something she cannot hide. And, therefore, I believe she has undoubtedly helped herself in the longrun by embracing the gender difference and showing what a woman has to offer the United States judiciary branch.

12. O please! That article is full of shit! The Washington Post has always been influencing politics since Nixon! They're just picking on Hillary because she is a lady!
If Hillary was a MAN instead what are they going to say??? His pants are SO TIGHT we can all see the outline of his cock? Stupid people making news out of nothing!

13. Who cares if hillopotomus shows her chest, there's something much bigger under her dress. I'll leave that for your eyes to see, because the thought of that scares the hell out of me. jeff
