Mean to HRC?

Who's being mean to Hillary Clinton? I don't think anybody is being mean to Hillary Clinton. I know Barrack Obama hasn't asked her to drop out. His supporters haven't asked her to drop out. Some late night comics are making fun of her, but that's their bread and butter, it should be expected. By the way, whoever becomes the next president, will be mocked.

To my mind, the Obama people have been very polite to, and about HRC, almost to a fault. They didn't campaign at all in West Virginia. It gave the nation the opportunity to see how impressive HRC can be. We watched her loose her husband, Elmer Gantry, in all those tiny towns and he really wowed them. They have a story to tell the next generation, no matter what happens. The people of West Virginia enjoyed the show, and good for them. Maybe this will spark something in them, prompt them to join the rest of us in the 21st century. I'm sure they mean well, but they've been stagnant for a long time. Access to cable tv and the internet really ought to be improved. Maybe more colleges in the area, I don't know, they need something. The truth is, when Hillary Clinton tries really, really hard, and has absolutely no competition, she and her surrogates can make a great splash.

We're getting near the end. Nobody's picking on her, nobody's pushing anybody around. Well of course, the math is against her, but there isn't much to be done about that.
