Oh Please. Some in NY have embraced her. The author of this tripe probably never bothered to check with the "hard pressed" Finger Lakes region as to whether we were still hard pressed thanks to Hillary's (not to mention Chuckie's) self-centered politics of "me".
Typing with my foot almost dipped in a Finger Lake (but way too cold fo that today) mere minutes from the famous Ithaca, City of Evil.
Forgot to add--anyone who actually knows the NYS region also knows Elima is in the Southern Tier of NY and not the Finger Lakes. But Chicago Trib readers would hardly make that geographical distinction as the author tries to get Her Thighness a few more votes.
What the hell does a Chicago reporter know about "Finger Lakes" politics anyway? Of course a NY Senator who collects nationwide campaign contributions is going to win re-election. That's not really an amazing acheivement. But it's no reason to believe she'll beat a Republican who's doing the same thing.
I hope this represents a trend, though. If more liberal reporters hop on the Hillary bandwagon, there's that much more chance she'll run in '08. The moonbats feel gypped that they had an "electable" candidate shoved down their throats in the last election. If the press join them in pushing Hillary, the Democrat Party bosses might not be able to keep her out of the race.
