    alright Jeb

    If you think that ANY of those were near as overblown as Wright and Bitter/Cling then there really is no way to reach you.

    I never meant to imply that Clinton had anything to do with starting them, but she certainly threw a gallon of gas (no doubt of the reduced tax variety ;) on both of those scandals - or was it a coincidence that in PA she turned into a shot-drinkin' deer shootin' good ol gurl? My point was that even with the two hugest scandals this primary season, scandals that would sink most anyone's campaign (let's be honest - those were the perfect storm, it made him into the militant, scary black man who thinks he's better than you) she still lost.

    She lost.

    You can blame Axelrod (who must be the world's greatest ventriloquist!), or Chris Matthews, or whoever else you want...but it doesn't change the fact that she lost.

    so you can either get over it...or you can continue to tell us strangers who you aren't voting for...it's up to you.
