p.s. What is up with the spell-checker that does not recognize Obama? Whoever is supposed to update new words is being WAAAAY lax on his/her job. (conspiracy theory: a right-wing outfit runs the spell checker for disqus. LOL)
After nearly two decades building relationships with a generation of Democrats, Mrs. Clinton has recently suffered a steady erosion of support for her presidential campaign from the party stalwarts that once formed the basis of her perceived juggernaut of “inevitability.”
....And there is no shortage of powerful Democrats who are quick to accuse the Clintons of defining loyalty as a one-way street, with little regard for the sacrifices they have made for a couple whose own political needs seem to their critics always to come first.

What a rhymes-with-witch (nudge, nudge)!
Is a whoop-di-do speech like a San Francisco activist???
You know, I really can't wait to psychoanalyze the kiss, tell, embroider, bile and envy-filled book HRC's sure to start pimping for another hefty, wound-licking couple of mil after she loses the nomination…
Questions for McCain
As we reported yesterday, ABC's George Stephanopoulos defended the questions in Wednesday's Democratic debate, saying all they did was throw at Democrats what the right eventually will.
Sunday, Mr. Stephanopoulos will interview Senator John McCain, raising the question "Is he now obligated to throw at McCain what the left eventually will?"
(Of) course some on the left forswear such partisan side issues. An aide to then-Governor Clinton, claiming during the 1992 campaign that Americans care about more important things: "What he's going to do in this campaign is focus on what's important to the American people; on the jobs, and the education - that's what the American people care about. They want to move into the future. They don't want to be diverted by side issues."
Still, since "2008 Stephanopoulos" felt it appropriate to ask questions on behalf of Sean Hannity this week, we want to lend him a hand with his McCain interview. So, George, we want to test Senator McCain's response to hostile distractions - you can pretend he's a Democrat and ask any of these questions. Taking notes?
1. In your book, Senator, you mentioned visiting "burlesque houses". And you say that in Rio, you indulged in "the vices sailors are infamous for."
Exactly how many times have you employed prostitutes? Or were you just referring to public drunkenness?
2. On your association with shady characters: As a member of the Keating Five, you helped delay regulators from going after a savings and loan that ripped off elderly investors of their life savings, and cost taxpayers more than two billion dollars.
Senator, why do you hate the elderly? And taxpayers?
3. In your continuing association with radicals from the 1970's: A man who tried to destroy the two-party electoral system and subvert democracy, and who - to this day - remains utterly unapologetic, saying only that he wishes he'd done "more of it and better." As recently as November 8th of 2007, you had a public conversation with this man, G. Gordon Liddy - not merely a criminal, but an unrepentant enemy of the Constitution, who is now in... radio.
Senator, why do you hate the Constitution?
4. After first calling Jerry Falwell "an agent of intolerance", you took that back and began praising that man, despite the fact that he blamed America for 9/11.
Why in six years have you not repudiated Mr. Falwell's damning of this country? Why do you still symbolically share the same pew with him?
5. You proudly accepted the endorsement of pastor John Hagee, who wants the U.S. to start a nuclear war as part of the apocalypse; who called Catholicism "the great whore", and who said Katrina was God's punishment of New Orleans for holding "a homosexual parade".
Senator McCain, does pastor Hagee love Catholics, Muslims, New Orleans, gay people, parades, and life on Earth as we know it as much as you do?
6. Senator, why did you commit adultery?
No, not that lobbyist stuff. I mean with your wife back in the seventies while you were still married to the first wife.
7. Last year you admitted lying to voters when you said South Carolina's Confederate flag was strictly a state issue when you knew it wasn't, when you knew it was offensive to many Americans - presumably those who wanted America to win the Civil War.
Why, sir, did you lie to protect a racist symbol of terrorists who wanted to destroy this country, when you could have... uh... not?
8. Finally, sir, a lot of Americans judge their politicians entirely by simple symbols. Flag lapel pins, where your hands are during the Pledge of Allegiance... wouldn't you agree, Senator McCain, that perhaps the most potent symbol of loving America is whether or not you chose to be born in America?
Senator McCain, why did you choose to be born in Panama? How can voters be sure that this kind of elitism doesn't mean that you will not owe your allegiance to Panama, and the Panamanian way?
and Obama does it without even trying.
if she were smart, she'd be doing everything possible to bolster the front-runner, for the sake of the party and the entire country. i'm not seeing it.
To the public, these men are members of a familiar fraternity, presented tens of thousands of times on television and radio as “military analysts”...Hidden behind that appearance of objectivity, though, is a Pentagon information apparatus that has used those analysts in a campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration’s wartime performance...A few expressed regret for participating in what they regarded as an effort to dupe the American public with propaganda dressed as independent military analysis.

Her loyalty is only to herself and her supporters, not to the Democratic Party.
She views the Obama movement as something outside the Democratic Party. That's how she's behaving. She views Obama as an enemy to be destroyed. She views McCain as a 4 year bump in the road.
Do not be deceived. Clinton views success as a destroyed Obama campaign first. The 2012 election is less than 5 years away.
My hatred of her grows daily.
Old news is still news? What about these peaches! Lying, and hiding public documents, and otherwise violating her oaths as a lawyer to such a degree that she GOT FIRED from her job on the Committee. I wish she'd been publicly called out for treason to the country considering how she was helping Tricky Dick avoid impeachment. It shows how dishonest SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN.
She can run on McCain's ticket or get a job in his cabinet. She is no Democrat.
