    Why is it so hard for people to accept

    that voters just don't want Hillary Clinton? She's had the highest negative numbers for months despite her own intense efforts to "let the voters know the real her." It's not the media's fault, it's not Mark Penn's fault, it isn't even Bill Clinton's fault (how frustrated he must be, Gore was even more engaging than this), it's Hillary's fault.

    So as Hillary loses and John Edwards loses even worse (is that the media's fault too?, the formula becomes clear:

    Hillary wins - it's because of the courage of the voters.

    Hillary loses - it's because the media hates her and the voters are too stupid to see past their complete manipulation of everyone's perception despite the countless one-on-one sessions that Hillary has been having with voters since Iowa.

    Wow, I can't believe we aren't all lining up to support someone who's failings are everyone else's fault but hers.
