  Thanks cecilbeanie. People do read what they want to in order to support their choices and make a case to knock those who do not follow their prescriptions. I was not aware that the good doc has been obssessing about my posts. I am glad that you had a chance to read through them and set the record straight. I did state why I changed my position on Hillary and trust me, it was not easy.

  We have lived through 8 years of the Clinton administration that was mired in one contraversy after another, whether self inflicted or inflicted by the media or the vast right wing conspiracy. I happen to believe that it was a little bit of all 3. The media has been hard on Hillary and I have always said that. But Hillary wants us to swallow her 8 years in the White House as her years of experience and if that's the case, then she needs to own up to a lot of the right wing shift of the Democratic party during the Clintons' watch.

  Hillary loves to invoke the "middle class" as much as she can, a code that shuts off the vast numbers of Americans who fall below the poverty lines. People can read my posts about the many many sell outs and compromises that the Clintons made in order to corporatize the Democratic Party and marginalize the poor amongst us.

  Hillary supporters on this forum give me the impression that McCain would be a better choice in the general elections should Obama win the nomination. So much for getting the GOP out of the White House. That says a lot about how Hillary has run her campaign - very Rovian and very divisive. The massive shift of voters from Hillary to Obama speaks to a particular dissatisfaction on how Hillary is once again triangulating with the Republicans in the way she keeps providing the fodder for defeating Obama. Here is a good and thoughtful article

  There is another article by Naomi Wolf on how and why rendition was the product of the Clintons and why she is voting for Obama.

  Also, how can she tout her experience over his judgement when we know that she has squandered $138 million just in the last 4 months and is now practically running on empty. Where was the organization and where is the management skill that she keeps boasting about? Is she a uniter or a divider? hell, she cannot even unite her own party. For the first time I am now understanding Clinton fatigue. I hope sincerely that if she loses by whatever margin, she will have the grace and wisdom to withdraw from the race and not drag the party into a dirty floor fight in the Democratic National Convention.
