As far as I can see Clinton started this race with a 2 mile head start. Long before there was an Obama many people already had a strong dislike of the woman. Her ineptly run campaign....her pandering..her exaggerations and truth stretching consolidated that feeling of dislike. I can not feel sorry for some woman who has held and tasted and lived the Power. Clintons worst enemy in the debacle was indeed herself. Long before Obama the media portrayed her on cover after cover of magazines..books and newspapers with that American eagle visage..stern..smug...confiden­t..omnipotent... for she was Hillary Rodham Clinton..the anointed one. Well, surprise surprise.

Obama will be the next President. The man ran a class act campaign. Refused to get down in the gutter and indeed is Presidential...something we have not seen in generations. He is a thinking man and if the way he ran is campaign is any indication of the way he will run his administration....our country may just find a way out of the mess we're in.
