I’m one of Hillary’s ‘natural constuancy’ but I just never cared for her attitude. I tried to stay objective but, ohhh, was it hard. I watched and re-watched her assassination talk, and it really seemed like she was over-tired and not really intentional, but that was nonetheless the last straw for me. I hope she has enough honorableness to get fully behind Obama and make up for the damage she has done to the Democratic Party.</p> Lanny’s behavior is just more of the same overheated emoting.
