    Fair shake?

    Maybe she's been treated unfairly occassionally, I can accept that. However she only had a chance to run because of her husband's name and she only had a chance to run for the Senate for the same reason. I'm not dismissing her as an astute politician - maybe if she hadn't spend so much time supporting her husband's carreer she could have run on the merrits of her own. However she had name recognition, she had enormous funding and she benefitted tremendously by the media casting this as the "Clinton vs Obama" contents from the start. All this gave her advantages over many of the other candidates, she is the very last person who can complain about not getting a fair shake.
