On the eve of tonight's debate, Hillary Clinton has taken personal responsibility for a calamity Republicans have been making the most of: the deaths of Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and other diplomats. "I'm in charge of the State Department, 60,000-plus people all over the world, 275 posts.
