Hillary at twilight

Was her campaign stop in an Ohio town called Hanging Rock a metaphor -- or a symbol of dogged defiance?

    Finally, regarding those "...interests" he'll fight against if elected, I probably shouldn't hold my breath for an explanation about why Sen. Obama has taken $91,646,221 from some of the largest Wall Street firms, financial institutions and lobbyists.

    Why? "Because that's where the money is".The amount of money it takes to run for President is appalling and revolting.

    "Discussing the issue of campaign finance reform, Obama said, 'The argument is not that I'm pristine, because I'm swimming in the same muddy water," but he added, 'The argument is that I know it's muddy and I want to clean it up.'" http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7008228952

    I haven't fallen under his spell but it must be really something, given that so many "smart" people buy and believe every single thing he says. Some of us would call that either magical thinking...or denial.

    What about this young man? Would you say he's thinking magically, or is he in denial?
