The worst advisers ever. When Hillary was being herself, and speaking from her heart, she was the most successful in reaching the rest of us, but they all took great care to not let that happen more often than it did.

I don't know for sure, but I'll bet Hillary wrote most, if not all, of her speech today. It had a tone the rest of the campaign lacked, and that's probably because the people around her had nothing to do with it. They were all, sadly, stuck in the 90s. It worried me more to think that they would have a say in her presidency more than the prospect of Hillary's presidency ever did.

Also, you're spot on about the Clinton's relationship with the media. It was always love/hate on their side and hate/hate on the media's side. No one could blame them after the way Monicagate was played over and over ad nauseum but, to be fair, they played the media from the beginning and, to use the current lexicon, their chickens had come home to roost. Getting David Shuster suspended didn't help the situation either.

Nice post. K&R

Cheers! :toast:
