I think she'd have a better shot at 2012 if she'd back out now.  I hate
to see her do it, and I can understand if she wants to keep fighting,
but she'd preserve more goodwill if she'd wait four more years. 

Last night I was reading the news, and some AP story had the headline
"Clinton fights to block Obama's historic march."  Now there's some
objective re****ting.  Obama's trying to block Clinton's historic march,
too, but that's never the headline.

I don't think he is equally vulnerable.  Not that he doesn't associate
with creeps; he does.  I just don't think it will stick to him the same
way.  "Angry black man" is more contagious than "dumbass racist white
preacher".  Hey! I'm just the messenger.  I'm not endorsing this fact.
