10. Is that what I really said blm? I don't think so. I think her voters ARE inspired by her candidacy
and, I don't believe that they are focused on the criticisms coming from folks like you who call the Clinton's corrupt, etc. The amount of support she has gained so far shows that voters aren't thinking the same way that you are about Hillary.

So, despite all of the hyperventilating about folks complaining the candidate can't get her message out, there is, obviously SOMETHING which is inspiring folks to vote for her. I can only speak for myself, but it's just not credible to assert that her support is some static bloc of disinterested voters, as some insinuate when they emphasize Obama's 'charisma'.

And, as for the media, I remember that YOU were complaining as loud as anyone that the media manipulates, so don't be so quick to dismiss that effect. If that makes you happy that Hillary Clinton is being miscast, that's fine, for you. But, the rest, about Kerry, Gore, and Clinton's reaction at the time . . . it's just not factoring into voter's minds like it's burned into yours, I believe.
