Hillary at twilight

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

    Looks like we need a Texas History lesson here...

    AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Good one manos99

    "Who Knows?

    Maybe Clinton can claim the endorcements of Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin, L.B.J. too!

    -- manos99"

    No, see, I was about to say OBAMA should have made a parody ad with actors playing Sam Houston, Austin, LBJ, Senator Yarborough, Davey Crockett, Jim Bowie, and William Travis...all in support of his candidacy...seeing as how only men vote for Obama, or so we've been told by Hillary's followers.

    Actually, Hillary should have had Texas Gov. Ma Ferguson on her list of female supporters...the parallels with Hillary/Bill and M.A./James Ferguson (also a former TX governor) are just too tempting to go into detail here. Look it up, yall, it's interesting political history to read...and it's partly why Texas governors have almost no power to speak of any more...

    I probably would have been more upset if she had used Barbara Jordan in her ad...guess Hillary's staff figured that would have been pushing it, seeing as how, ya-know, only black people are supposedly voting for Obama...

    My only regret is that you beat me to the punch-line on this one.
