I'm OK with the strategy of just not spending time on...

... negative stuff. Hillary has a long history of learning how to deal with smears.

But if she's going to spend time addressing an issue, why doesn't she just tell the good story that she has? "Look, there were 30,000+ e-mails. Plus that many more on the classified network. Do YOU read ALL your e-mails through? None of them were marked classified in the prescribed way. The State Department did not agree with all other departments' classifications. What the fuck is the problem??? So I didn't notice that some people didn't notice/agree with someone else's classification. None of them impacted security. Give me a break!"

I've been a Hillary follower/supporter since she was at Wellesley. I have no problem at all with her handling of classified info.

But I do wonder why she just doesn't tell her good story.

How come no reporters give Clinton the benefit of the doubt?

Since there were NO e-mails that were marked properly with headers, and only 3 that were marked at all (with little (c)'s buried in the text... which Comey agreed anyone might miss), why is it not a possibility that she genuinely did not think that any "classified" e-mails had been received?

Why would she lie, for crying out loud, when she knew the FBI was looking at them?

What's wrong with the system when the positive interpretation is verboten?

Why now?

Trump has been making awful gaffes for months! Why are they suddenly being heard?

Domenico Montanaro needs to be spanked.

Another venture by me into the land of twitterdom. Did you hear him on NPR yesterday? Saying it was a bad week for Hillary because she lied on Fox?????

@DomenicoNPR #NPR"We have no basis to conclude she lied to the FBI," Comey told Chairman Jason Chaffetz during one of the opening exchanges.

Hillary!!! She's smart and she has a heart!!!

Just another post to remind us that we have a positive version of this campaign.

How did Hillary and Kaine do in PA and Ohio? Presumably...

... people that needed persuading didn't come to their rallies. Any evidence of taking bites out of the Republican voters?

I do want to know this, but I also want a Hillary/Kaine presence in DEMOCRATICUnderground.

If you're planning on canvassing and can't figure out...

...what to say to people who think she lied about e-mails (I lie awake nights trying to put my long history supporting Hillary into words), then print out the post below and hand it to the person, explaining that it's pretty complicated, but the bottom line is that she didn't lie.

What was the difference between Kaine's speech the Saturday...

... before the convention and the one at the convention?
