The Clintons are such consummate politicians and vicious competitors and the media seems to be such willing accomplices, I think it will be fun to monitor the Hillary campaign over the next year.
There have been accusations that they run an amazing machine and will do anything for power.
So far I've noticed a few.
1) The group she helped start, www.mediamatters.org went after Rush Limbaugh with an out of context remark about "phony soldiers". They also went after Bill Oreilly for something about being amazed that black restaurants in Harlem were like any other restaurant. (not the exact quote but close)
2) They apparently threatened the Obama campaign that they had dirt on him (drug use in High School) so that the media, who always helps the Clintons, could run with it and they couldn't be accused of directly slinging mud.
3) Media dropped the story on that Chinese American donor who gave 100000s in donations but gave a tiny run down home address in Daly City, California.
4) Hillary is now attacking Barack Obama for being inexperienced in "international affairs" when her only claim to fame her entire life was being married to a politician and a few years in the Senate.
I suspect there is a lot of dirty politics to come. Should make it fun to watch is a sick kind of a way. The Clintons are amazing politicians and it should be interesting to watch.
So if Hillary does something noticeably good or bad. Please list here to keep Hawaii's voters informed. The "news" media won't do it.
