Hillary at twilight

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

    cecilbeanie and the vast doc-wing conspiracy??

    what a bizarre post. where did all that conspiracy theory come from?? I can restate yet again why the "conversion" interests me: this was a person who went very far in her denunciations of Senator Obama, and then read some anti-Hillary articles written by her enemies and critics, and suddenly, inexplicably (to me) began an unending stream of anti-Clinton invective. And, nota bene, without really explaining what it is she now likes about Obama.

    Maybe it shows how susceptible some supporters of Obama are to what the press tells them. Maybe it demonstrates that for some at least the attachment to Obama is little more than an aversion to Hillary. Maybe it says something more universal, as I suggested in my story of my own cousin--converts are the biggest fanatics, whether in politics or religion or some other area of life.

    It sure doesn't have anything to do with "conspiracies", for heaven's sake!

    As I said, how bizarre.
