One word for this: dumb.
Hillary calls for her resignation, so she resigns? Goodness gracious, did we miss rule number 1 of electoral politics? Never, EVER let your opponent dictate to you.
The validity of the remark aside, this was a tiny little political burp that would've passed almost without notice in the political current. Now that she's resigned, it's suddenly the biggest misstep of pretty much the entire campaign. I am very, VERY glad I don't watch cable news, because there are going to be people crowing about this for WEEKS.
Edit: I also have to wonder, what exactly is the phrase "off the record" for if you tell a reporter a comment is off the record and they go and report it? Does that actually have some sort of standing or is it just a courtesy? This whole thing just reeks of stupid.
