Who are you, and why should we care what you think?

I've had a slightly uneasy feeling about Senator Clinton with respect to her identifying with and "feeling the pain" of out-of-work laborers. Maybe it's because she started out a Republican--indeed, she was President of the Wellesley Young Republicans while in college. You know the old Francois Guisot (1787-1874) quote: "Not to be a republican at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head."

The longer this campaign goes on, the more I feel that Senator Clinton has no heart. Particularly when she employs Rove's tactic of perpetuating half-truths and innuendos about Obama. Then when the accusations are disproved, it doesn't matter--the person's reputation has been irreversibly tarnished. Mission accomplished.

P.S. I did vote for Senator Clinton in a Super Tuesday primary, but I now regret it.
