Oblivion? come on, Salon!
[Read the article: Night lands Clinton closer to oblivion]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As a publication, you should choose your words more carefully.
Oblivion (from Merriam-Webster): the condition or state of being forgotten or unknown.
As the Senator from NY, First Lady for 8 years, and the first serious female contender for the office of President, (not to mention the wronged wife in the middle of a huge sex scandal), oblivion is a poor choice of words. Defeat, maybe. Surrender? Surely there was a more apt term out there. I'm still undecided in this race, but your headline made me mad. Despite how people may feel about her, she has accomplished a great deal for women, and to deny or diminish that is irresponsible on your part.
