6. Gave a speech about how personal the race was to her, and shed a couple of tears?
That's the one thing I recall offhand.

7. She had Diebold machines installed??
That was the common sentiment around here after she won.

11. Pu-lease
She didn't cheat to win any of her wins this year. She's fought tough, harsh even, but nothing has been unfair.

8. Well I didn't get a lot of sleep last night
and it wasn't because I was sleeping with a President at the Holiday Inn, so I might not remember correctly - but wasn't the media being mnean to her or something...

9. She.... (sniff)... found... .(gulp)... her voice.
I wish her an Bill would lose their voice completely. They are embarrassing themselves, and the Democratic Party, due to their positions in it.

10. She cried.
Also, she got heckled by some RW looneys, something about baking cookies are doing some sewing, which cranked up her support among voters living in the 21st century.

20. So she won. That's okay. She won my state too.
I can't be pissed for too long at Bill Clinton. His behavior in this campaign has irked me on occasion, but he wouldn't be the Big Dog if he didn't hump a few legs every now and then. I have never seen any valid reason to believe he's not in love with his wife.

26. His behavior has irked me a lot.
And I dont feel any loyalty to him. In fact, I know now that hes not the guy I thought I was voting for in the 90's.

As far as being in love with his wife, I'm of the opinion that his cheating presents a valid question of his feelings. OTOH, if she doesnt care... why should I.

12. Stayed positive, actually spoke of issues instead of sliming Obama
She actually stopped giving her stump speech, and began connecting with voters.

Lucky thing for our country, neither she nor her campaign staff put two and two together and she went right back to her phony canned stump speech which now is 80% anti-Obama.

That, sad to say, is how she turned into a Shakespearean figure.

21. Yeah, I seem to remember them both calling her out on that. But didn't she cry foul
about debates and media treatment well after that, when it was just her and Obama? I seem to remember lots of whining around that time. I even think I remember her mentioning a comedy skit about it to try to show how she was "unfairly" questioned.

But I just CAN'T be remembering correctly, since Bill and she have been talking about how good politicians have to take the heat and those who don't like it ought to "get out of the kitchen."

Since those two have NEVER triangulated, misled, or lied, I must be rewriting history. Hillary would never do something like that.

19. Laid out an inspiring vision that can unify people of diverse views to solve key problems
Or maybe not. My memory's a little fuzzy.

24. Nothing special. But she had the NH Democratic machine behind her.
We're a pretty right-leaning state and even our Democrats are mostly
DLC to the core, so they naturally aligned with Hillary. We're also
very, very white and mostly rural and suburban. Still, Obama made
a surprisingly strong showing, though, and it's a shame he didn't
get those few more points and shut her down way back in January.

(And to everyone: please don't embarrass yourselves by blaming
"the machines"; the recount showed they counted accurately.)

28. And how about all of these:
"Clinton blames the media for not covering his wife fairly and he argues that we in the media are not focusing enough on Hillary’s experience, implying that we are holding her to a different and unfair standard."
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22299106/

"Bill Clinton Scolds Media ... Again"
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/01/bill-clinton-sc.html

"They're feeding you this because this is what you want to cover; this is what you live for, but this hurts the people of South Carolina," he told a reporter. "What you care about is this and the Obama people know that, so they spin you up on this and you happily go along."

"The people don't care about this. They never ask about it," he said. "And you are determined to take this election away from them."
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/01/23/eveningnews/main3746235.shtml

"Greg Sargent at TalkingPointsMemo has confirmed with sources of his that the prime beef Hillary Clinton's campaign has had with the MSNBC network is the pugilistic behavior of Hardball's Chris Matthews."

29. What Hillary did right in NH was run in a lily white primary state where the voters were sick of the
media telling them that Iowa predetermined the outcome of the nomination (and she reaped a one-time benefit from Richardson and Biden supporters abandoning their sinking ships quickly and without having much time to acquaint themselves with all their options).

We need to find Hillary another lily white state which is super-resentful of the media attention which Iowa got after the caucus.
