Hillary at twilight

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

    "Salon Fan" Thank you for your great post

    I hope that Hillary supporters who are parroting Hillary's ridiculing and mocking Obama supporters, will take time to read your post. That should lay to rest the stale and pungent argument that somehow former Hillary supporters have been hypnotized and hijacked by the Obama choir into lalaland and total annhilation.

    KateTex and her ilk should also stop to consider why no Obama supporters are moving over to the Clinton nursery. The movement so far has been pretty one sided - from Hillary to Obama and NOT vice versa. Could it be that more Hillary dirty tricks are being washed in public. Could it be that Hillary is being exposed as an irate school teacher who has lost control over her brood, hence the finger pointing, finger wagging and specious ads on television reminiscent of the final solution in a mushroom cloud used against Barry Goldwater. Thinking back to the '60s folks, I can tell you that Barry Goldwater's politics were left of what Hillary is now preaching. Also know, that Hillary was a Barry Goldwater girl and came into the Democratic kicking and screaming, which she is still doing.

    The much ballyhooed "experienced" Hillary has bodies of a lot of committed Democrats in her stinky closet. She is nothing more than an opportunist (why would she stay in a marriage where her husband cheated throughout their married life together, if not to ride on his coattails? This is not love folks, but blind ambition). All her friendships are opportunistic. Look up how she treated the much respected and revered women such as Lani Guineer, Joycelene Elders and Marian Edelman. Many many of former Clinton operatives are now running the Obama campaign. Why? They talk openly about Clinton fatigue and the constant fighting within the administration and their constant fight with the media. Yes. There is a Clinton bias in the media and that will not go away if Hillary is elected. We will have 4 more years of Clinton vs the media. The media will stay on her butt and scrutinize her every move whether rightly or wrongly. This is Clinton fatigue and frankly American citizens are sick and tired of their dysfunctions played out in the public arena.
