Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain...
...Hillary is in Ohio and has no reaction to losing Wisconsin.

Is it just me?

1. That's her MO
Edited on Tue Feb-19-08 09:39 PM by goodgd_yall
A friend of mine and I were discussing this. She said it would be better if Hillary acknowledged things and as she was describing what she would say if she was in Hillary's position, I could see her point.

I think Hillary thinks acknowledging it is like giving it power---focus on success and not defeat---or something like that. But acknowledging a loss would be much more effective.

Oh---and that is exactly how we both described it---like the Wizard in The Wizard of Oz.

2. Thanks...
...that was my first op and I'm thrilled that you acknowledged it.

...and the Wizard of Oz theme - yes - it's just ridiculous - maybe borderline delusional.
