    She's too calculating to let something like that slip accidentally, in my opinion. She said "he" so that she could dramatically state the next sentence, "More likely, if she cares about it," she added."
    I'm sure that was exactly how the speech was intended. "More likely" ... "More likely she". Hillary is implicitly saying that she cares more about kitchen table concerns than Obama does, with a little deniability thrown in.
