Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign may have opened a can of worms with its "Politics of Piling On" video — her opponents are jumping on it with spoof videos of their own and sharpening their words.

Here's one from former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.), called "The Politics of Parsing." The spot accuses Clinton (D-N.Y.) of "double-talk" during the debate, and pulls together clips of what the Edwards camp says are contradictory remarks.

The Clinton camp has privately and publicly suggested the men at the debate (including NBC's Tim Russert) were ganging up on the former first lady, and Sen. Barack Obama pushed back on that notion this morning on the Today Show, saying "We're not running for the president of the city council."

"When we had a debate back in Iowa a while back, we spent I think the first 15 minutes of the debate hitting me on various foreign policy issues, and I didn't come out and say, look, I'm being hit on because I look different from the rest of the folks on the stage. I assumed it was because there were real policy differences there," he said. "So it doesn't make sense for her after having run [rough and tumble] for eight months, the first time that people start challenging her point of view, that suddenly, she backs off and says, don't pick on me. I think that that is not obviously how we would expect her to operate if she were president."

Republicans are chiming in too, with a new video deeming Clinton: "Long On Rhetoric, Short On Answers."

As I mentioned this morning on NPR's "Tell Me More" with Michel Martin, some women find the gender card irritating. Ruth Marcus over at the Washington Post seems to think so.
