Hillary at twilight

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

    Classy Tribute

    I am far from a fan of the clintons. However, this is a very classy and poignant article.

    If fate ends the democratic primary you left the lady some dignity.

    Hopefully when all is said and done and Hillary has a chance to sit back and think about her campaign she will see where it went wrong. Not the media. Not, as her supporters want to believe, women haters, and not the candidate herself in campaigning.

    But, she made a fatal mistake. She refused to recognize that you do not put your pollster in the role of chief strategist. You put in a pro. Loyalty is great in friendships but, not for being the head of the most important run of your life.
