71. Fair and balanced

Got America into this mess, remember during the Clinton presidency when they used that as an excuse to bash Hillary Clinton? And yes Mitt has something that leads people to distrust him, though I would not have used wimp. My article would have been "No confidence?", as Mitt is far weaker then he should be given the money he spends.

Please, do not give the GOP any crumb they can make into a loaf. If Mitt wins, they will make damned sure Hillary does NOT get to run in 2016.
