    Of some Democrats and government insiders

    "Did you see/hear the news?

    AP: Obama "Aide: Obama on Track to Nominate Clinton"

    "Some Democrats and government insiders have questioned whether Clinton is too independent and politically ambitious to be an effective secretary of state. But Obama is said to admire her talents and experience, as do many other Democrats."

    The link didn't work, but you can google it.

    Other Obama aides have noted: "She's a great team player."

    Yay!!!!!!

    -- luminesce"

    Huuh? Okay let me see; fifty percent (50%)of Democrats and Government insiders think she is too independent and politically ambitious to be an effective secretary of state while another 50% and Obama think otherwise. Or is it 30-70 one way or other? The absurdity of this whole thing is mind-boggling. The media is getting pathetic.
