Hillary at twilight

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

    Editors: Please red-star chhabili's post

    It describes my own situation pretty well too.

    I was totally cool with Hillary CLinton until I paid more attention. I liked Obama based on my knowledge of him from before, but wasn't sure he was ready.

    Obama has earned his front-runner status.

    And the Clintons, for all the good things about htem, have accumulated a lot of sell-out positions that are unjustified for anybody with a conscience.

    Hillary's flag-burning crap was really symbolic of that. Why did she do it? Why would anybody sponsor that amendment? I was pissed off at Dianne Feinstein as well. Why not use the Constitution as toilet paper while you're at it?
