Reply #41: I can certainly envision the scene that is described [View All]

the "aloof, arrogant, glib" part. Not saying that condemns him mind you, just that he has shown that side several times. Of course it is hard to interpret snippets caught on camera like the "you are likable enough Hillary" and "the snub" - they may be blown out of proportion, or totally misconstrued. One sees what one chooses to. It is unfortunate that so many of his supporters refuse to admit he is human, has flaws, and then say they support him despite them. By claiming perfection they destroy credibility.

I have had only one personal contact with him. Long before he announced he was running for pres (he's my Senator). I won't go into detail, but suffice it to say he was pretty cocky with respect to being a US Senator and pretty patronizing to a constituent (me). Pretty much a "there, there, daddy knows best" kind of remark. I can definitely picture him striking an "attitude" towards Edwards - kind of a "you are a loser; why should I listen to you" thing.

Again, I don't say this to slam him or say he is not the best choice we have left. Just saying the article probably has it right.
