    You do marketing, right?

    First, we all know that Salon has some historical ties to the Clinton campaign- but I have become convinced that they are at least trying to stay neutral in their coverage. This article, however, should not have been given to Walt. He literally told her that he can't wait to stare into her eyes across a crowded room. That tells you all you need to know about his position.

    That's an interesting take on what he actually said:

    "I look forward to seeing you across a crowded room Friday in New Hampshire."

    For the content-impaired, that would mean he will attend a public event (good thing for a political journalist to do, I'm thinking) and see her but not speak to her, as you would normally expect if you told someone you'd see her on Friday. Stretching that into a desire to stare into her eyes from across a crowded room takes some doing. I applaud you.

    I haven't been a fan of hers (I suspect HRC of going where the wind goes) but she spoke well for herself here.
