Prominent Democratic operative David Axelrod responded to Charlie Cook’s statement that Hillary Clinton has "lost her fastball" in an interview with MSNBC's Alex Wagner.
"Did Hillary Clinton ever have a fastball?" Wagner asked.
"She threw hard--the question is whether she got the ball over the plate," Axelrod said.
Axelrod said Clinton needs to show the public that she is "running for a purpose and not just for a promotion."
That was a problem in 2007, and will be a problem that has to be solved by 2016.
"At the end of the day you have to stand for something, fight for something," Axelrod said.
