Hillary at twilight

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

    The reason I pasted my "gratuitous advice" post is so that you could re-read it and realize that it has nothing to do with the the subject of this thread whatsoever. It was in a response to an article about the "right age" at which for a woman to have a child and the impact of the decision - whatever age has on her life. I was simply relaying something that I've though about for a while and something that I've talked to younger mothers about. But I'd love to see how you can link this post to the Obama/Clinton campaign and chhabili's conversion.

    Can we agree to differ? When I read chhabili's posts I something different - you maintain that chhabili's reasons for switching are based solely on anti-Clintonism rather than embrace of Obama and all that he stands for. Yes, the anti-Clintonism is there but I read a lot of stuff in her posts that talked about reasons to support Obama (other than anyone but Hill). Why are you so obsessed about chhabili's conversion, anyway? Do you believe that this is some nefarious plot of the Obama campaign? An Obama right from the start person is tasked with pretending to be undecided - sort of likes Hillary, seems to be v. against Obama, throws in a bit about Edwards and then reads an article that sets her to thinking about Hillary, she starts to think about all the negatives, takes a closer look at Obama and then, lo and behold, she is gung ho for Obama. I'm not into conspiracy theories but maybe you are. So, please, why don't you just come out and say that's where you're coming from!!
