Hillary at twilight

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

    sometimes light teasing on the internet comes across as heavy as boots. I know from your letters that you are generally thoughtful and fair, and I was just prodding you. Thank-you for saying something nice to me a while back. I appreciate it.

    But as a thoughtful person--and I don't disparage your support of Clinton nor your reasons for supporting her: what do you think will happen after Tuesday. If there is essentially a tie--with maybe a couple of more delegates won by her side in Ohio and Rhode Island, but not in Texas...as polls at this moment project: what will happen? I don't have a definite opinion on this, so I'm not looking for a standard issue answer...but this draw....will it be good for the party to not be able to make up our collective minds?

    I've also watched carefully, and the non-endorsements of Bill Richardson and John Edwards are telling. Whoever thought that we would be in a dilemma like this in such an important election year? And if the only thing that will put one candidate every so slightly forward in the race is more stringent negative campaigning...where will we be in November? We seem to be becoming the three-legged runner in a two-legged race. Maybe McCain has his hobbling issues too....still...

    Just wondering what you think.
