Hillary at twilight

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

    @Josie Ortez

    Josie Ortez: "first off: Barack (worship ME or else!)Obama hasn't EARNED squat - who is pulling his strings?"

    Obama hasn't earned squat? Really? He's the front-runner for president at this point, if poll numbers and total votes are any indication, and he's made a solid showing in 20-plus debates, has a solid record as a senator, has organized one of the most efficient and effective campaigns in decades, and he hasn't earned squat? Well -- you are entitled to your opinion.

    You offered a grab bag of rhetorical questions. Let me focus on just one of them:

    Josie Ortez: "Why did he endorse war hawk Joe Lieberman in the 2006 Senate race over progressive Ned Lamont?"

    I hadn't heard about this, so I Googled it. I found nothing. But what I DID find was interesting -- Ned Lamont has endorsed Barack Obama! (Kind of an interesting turn, if as you say Obama snubbed Lamont, isn't it?)

    Here is a link for you:
