And such is the vibe that I have gotten from the Clintons' supporters way before Hillary announced her candidacy. They want the dynasty. They want the twofer. By all means necessary.

So it's no wonder there's this coming from the Clinton side of the political aisle :

"That's when I caught on," said Coghlan. He realized then that he was being push-polled. That malicious political virus that is designed not to elicit answers but to spread positive information about one candidate and negative information about all others under the guise of an honest poll had arrived in Southern California within days of the important election.

Traffic in the world of blogs is one way to get well paid through advertising.

Words to live by

Two prominent Democrats lament the degradation of civil
discourse in graduation addresses:

Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa of Los Angeles,
told University of Southern California graduates it was "poisoning our
politics."

Mark Warner, former Virginia governor speaking at Wake

"complex issues reduced to easy-to-digest sound bites."

"No one — no one — in politics has a monopoly on virtue,
on patriotism,
or most importantly, on the truth," Mr. Warner said.
"And that goes for
everyone, from conservative to liberal."
