The fact that this judge is allowed to even "try" the case shows how much effort has gone into protecting hillary. The efforts probably include both sides. We are supposed to be in power but sometimes I wonder. To brush away a campaign finance fiasco like this takes enormous power, they have it.

I agree with you, we had better be prepared to run an issues campaign against her in 2008 aside from these "scandals" - because there is a huge block of voters that these stories don't reach, and the MSM will just filter it all out.

to be honest, a simple 527 ad with her on the Seante floor giving her "Bush knew" speech about 9/11, transitioning to a list of US national security lapses that took place while she and her husband held the white house for 8 years, would be more effective that this story in my opinion. not that this story isn't important mind you, its simply the political impact of it I question.

This is going to get uglier before it gets the whitewash. But it will get a good coat or two by both parties. No one in Washington is going to let Hilary Clinton go down the tubes as a common criminal. She is a former First Lady first and foremost in the politico's eyes. She may "retire" from the senate and resume a private life in Wherever as a trade-off, but no harm will come to Mrs. Clinton.
