I think it is time to stop giving Hillary Clinton's opponent so much press in this group.

Nearly half of the discussion threads include the name of the other person seeking the nomination and only about 1/4 include Hillary's name. There are many things to discuss about outside of the other candidate. I'd like to see the percentages flip at the very least.

We have heard. One Summer she went to Alaska and washed dishes in a salmon camp, I never did this, probably interesting.

There's just so much goofy stuff going on with that other guy that I think we can't quite resist.

You're right, though. Time to focus on the Orange Menace.

My friend Chris works for the campaign, and he said if I can make it home before November he can arrange for me to meet Hillary and Bill. Which of course would be pretty awesome.
