Hillary at twilight

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

    You seem to be parroting the Clinton refrain that those who support Obama are ones who are on some kind of a high and have not thought through how the Clintons and Hillary in particular is going to save America from itself. What arrogance on the part of the Clintons to paint Obama supporters as uneducated, mindless robots who you characterize as people who need to be "saved." If you are paying any attention to the demographics in these primaries, you may have read that Obama has managed to coalesce a wide spectrum of the electorate; north and south; men and women; white men and white women; women with college degrees and women with not; independents and republicans as well; rural and urban; the statistics speak for themselves. But according to you, we seem to be following a pied piper Obama who will undoubtedly on your part, lead us over the cliff and onto our sudden, blind death.

    So I read some of your earlier posts and one thing you kept insisting on is Hillary's integrity. I encourage you to read my earlier post and convince me if you still find Hillary or Bill with any measure of integrity left. They shamelessly injected race into the campaign and are now reaping the benefits of dirty politics.

    Also, having read your previous posts, I am left with a sad feeling that you are dismissing Obama just because of the color of his skin. Maybe, if you can somehow look past that, you will find that Obama has more character than both the Clintons put together.
