Hillary at twilight

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

    Fair shakes and the lack thereof

    Can you understand how frustrating it is to favor Clinton but believe she absolutely can't get a fair hearing, simply because she is a Clinton (well, by marriage)?

    I was a Dean supporter in '04. I feel your pain. But by the same token, Hillary would probably be a political footnote at best if she wasn't a Clinton by marriage. Her challenge was to capitalize on the good feelings from the Clinton administration and her own strengths, while sidestepping the pitfalls of sexism and Clinton hate. I don't think she's risen to that challenge.
