Three months into Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign for president, there are fresh warning signs she may be falling short with some Democratic voters whose enthusiasm will be essential to her success in 2016.

Clinton was noticeably absent from the roster of speakers expected this week in Phoenix at the Netroots Nation convention.

"I think a lot of people are tired of Hillary Clinton and want something new," said Kristen Millnick of Washington, D.C., who was among hundreds of activists started arriving at Netroots Nation on Thursday.

"I think a lot of people will talk themselves into thinking what a great president Hillary Clinton will be," said Jose Martinez Diaz, a 36-year-old Democratic digital organizer from Washington, D.C.

Netroots Nation used to be called Yearly Kos. It evolved out of the Daily Kos crowd of activists.

Considering that, could it be that Hillary is afraid of being perceived as a liberal loony tune who would go to Netroots??? She’s trying to connect with middle america and all those everyday Americans. Everyday Americans don’t go to Yearly Kos/Netroots type events.

Maybe it’s just me but Hillary sometimes makes me think about that old Warner Brothers cartoon about the singing frog and how it croaked and was a big time disappointment when it was time for it to perform in front of people.

If Hillary hadn’t married Bill, she being doing commercials on local TV somewhere, saying: “I’m Hillary Rodham. If you’ve been injured in an accident, or by the use of a defective product, call the law offices of Hillary Rodham to get the compensation you deserve!”
