If she tries, it will backfire IMO.

Please don't take this personally, but if you have to defend Hillary's candidacy this early on, imagine the effort you will need to put forth say a year from now. Give me your address and I will send a few keyboards your way. You will need them.

IMO, Hillary is risking the CGI brand which is capable of raising tons of money and doing very good work globally and for what? After watching her campaign once and then lose to a novice like Obama, she just does not look very presidential to me. In one word, shifty.

You've got a point there, DJ. If I was the 'decider' I'd tell the NY Times to go piss up a rope from here on out. That was a helluva book review masquerading as journalism last week.

I wish you were running the old woman's campaign.

No worries, Rajoo. Feel free to send me an Apple laptop, I've already worn off the lettering on this shitty Acer laptop.

Sadly, an indictment, or even proof of culpability, is unnecessary where the Clintons are concerned.

If, as seems likely, the Kochs plan to put the majority of their promised $800,000,000.00 behind Scott Walker, meanwhile twisting the arms of other donors through their dark money operations, Bush or anyone else wull have a very tough time.

And why is that? Seriously your take on it. I am not anti-Hillary by any means nor resorting to Hillary bashing. Just that she is shifty like Nixon.
