Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Tony Rezko

A "gotcha" that wasn't for one candidate, a need to "come clean" for another.

    Rezko et al

    The fact is that many Deomocrats feel deeply disconnected to the party and the Clintons are a significant factor in our disillusion.

    I am surprised that so many people are surprised by that fact.

    Many of us have never been supporters of Hillary, even before Barack threw his hat into the ring.

    We were the ones who said we'd hold our noses and cast the vote, if necessary. However, let me assure you that many of us will either stay away or vote for someone else, via the write-in process.

    We do not like Hillary. She uses a two -by- four when a fly swatter would do.On everything. Yuck.

    Neither the new nor the old Hilary will do. It is visceral. It is real.

    Sorry?
