Hillary's Bitter Victory

Is there any relief in sight? When will this thing end? The short answer to this question is no, there isn't.

Watching this scene, I was struck suddenly by the genius of the Clinton campaign — and also felt myself beginning to understand why this Obama-Clinton contest may yet prove to be one of those defining cultural clashes that come along once a generation or so, like Bryan-Darrow or Ali-Frazier.

what we have in Hillary Clinton: a once-in-a-generation political pugilist who, like her much smoother adversary, is amazingly capable of turning weakness into strength. Pitted against physical beauty and inspirational rhetoric, Hillary made herself the champion of everything stylistically ordinary, superficially unimpressive and ignored. And while her opponent won all the attention and admiration, all the teen-idol gushings of the beautiful people, she went for something deeper — resentment at the lack of those same things.

Rock on! I love that you clipped from Rolling Stone!

Methinks:
Together they were unbeatable. Divided, each will be beaten.
Together? They can't come together; because the water between them is too deep. Thus they are doomed to share the fate of The two royal children in the German volkslied.

@alanocu RS has surprisingly astute commentary on
the political landscape from time to time, but on balance
they tilt toward liberal ideology. Also, they get the inside scoop on celebrities, which is a bonus
