When things are spinning out of control people sometimes go after people or things that have nothing to do with the problem area.

I suspect that she is actually finding it hard to deal with Obama on issues, and knows that any resorting to personal attacks (even through surrogates, unless covertly spread) will backfire. It’s gotta be driving her a bit crazy on how to respond to Obama’s success.

I personally think that her team played it wrong in the Midwest and Northwest…when they assumed that these would be easy wins after super-Tuesday.

I was confused and asked her for what? She said that when my parents and I visited them when I was fifteen, she received an advance warning of the size of the teen age male appetite so it allowed her to plan for when her own son reached that age.</p> A few years ago, my Godfather’s widow thanked me.
