This is what I wrote on Senator Clinton’s website, reproduced here as per Pamela’s request.
Dear Senator Clinton,

I was one of many HillBloggers. We blogged [...]

Via Jonathan Turley,
“In the video linked below, Angel Torres, 78, is struck by two cars in the streets of Hartford, Connecticut and left in the street.
