I agree that she believed herself to ba anointed by the talking heads and the Sunday heads such as Russert. I disagree on the issue of pushing Obama. It began with the Hollywood crowd who abandoned Clinton for Obama. The MSM ultimately jumped on. Obama deserves credit for convincing the young set that he would be their savior.

It is difficult for Republicans to defend Hillary, but she sure didn't plan on only getting 10% of the black vote when politically there is very little that separates her from Obama. * * *

The "democrats" didn't push him. He pushed himself. Hillary was the inevitable candidate. Who would be so foolish or sure of his background, principles, and cause to run against the "Clinton Machine"? But it happened. It's certainly true that Hillary shares lots of the blame for an entitled and lazy campaign. She left the opening and Barack Obama took advantage of it. But Obama got plenty of help from the media, who instead of vetting him when he connected with the voters, bowed down before him as the new Messiah. "Hope!" "Change!" "Yes, We Can!" We love you, Great Obama, O Trancendant One! Suddenly they began covering Hillary like she was a Republican. Thrills ran up their legs when they heard Obama. No digging into Obama's scanty Chicago record occurred. I wonder how many Iowans would have voted for Obama if they had known then what they know now about Jeremiah Wright, "bitter" voters clinging to God and guns, and Michelle's "mean America".
