Cold, I anticipate you phone banking for Genifer Flowers or Monica Lewinsky should either of them ever toss their hats into the ring? Or maybe Nina Hartley?

Very balanced view. I also liked John Harris' book, The Survivor. It's about Bill, but there is a lot in it about HIllary as well. John Harris was the Washington Post Whited House Correspondent during the Clinton years, and he knows of what he speaks. I wish more people would read these books.

Read 'A Woman in Charge' by Carl Bernstein. Great and very interesting material sourced very well. Hillary had my vote but this material made it all the more obvious. Blasko: You write extremely well at a depth that we don't see often in the left political blogsphere! Keep up the good work. And Cold: Bill isn't running for office. And she didn't 'dump' him for reasons made obvious in the book above. I recommend you read it if you are open minded enough. Want a balanced view of Hillary Clinton?

Very profound. Okay cold — so you hate her because of the difference between “under sniper fire” and “under threat of sniper fire,” because of something her husband did, and because of one political commercial.

Very profound.

Clinton. Just can't face the truth, whether it is the lies about Tuzla, the fear mongering at 3 a.m., the inability to dump a philandering & lying husband. If for no other reasons than those, I hope Sen. Obama wins. You are just like Sen. Clinton.

This is a wondrous post Joanne. Thank you for elevating the discussion for just a little while. So very good to remember there is something much larger happening here.... archetypal journey for us all.... especially our country. It is time for a brilliant, thoughtful, courageous, and strong woman to lead. Hillary is indeed that woman. Have been making calls to PA today from Seattle. My last call was from a gentleman named Frank who is a WWII veteran. He was in the infantry with General Patton. He asked me, " Have you heard of General Patton?" I reassured him I definately had. He is a Hillary supporter and needs a ride to the polls tomorrow. He was anxious because he talked to someone a few days ago and they never called him back. So I called the Headquarters in PA and relayed the info. I'll call him back too, to make sure they made arrangements for him. Not calling right now because it's dinner time there. Will call more later. Lot's of Hill support.... so far 14 definates out of 42 calls... 6 undecideds..... 8 hang ups.... and the the rest ans machines or other polite but don't want to talk folks and won't say. More calls later. Go Hillary Go.... Hi Janis, Pamela, all! This is a wondrous post Joanne. Thank you for elevating the discussion for just a little while.
