Hillary fooled us again.  She faked us all out, had us all going with this "playing out the string with honor" line.  In truth, that was her latest politically expedient personality change.  Yet again, she said what the audience of the moment (the democratic party at large, rather than specific states, as before) wanted to hear, and we all bought it, because we really, really wanted to hear it.

The specter of the Clintons imitating Sherman's march to the sea until the convention is so awful to us, we were enormously relieved when she signaled a change in tone.  In that relief, she had us fooled, we let our guard down, we starting talking about mergers and reconciliations.  about VP and Supreme Court appointments (really?). 

But, as we saw in Florida yesterday, it was all a ruse.  She is setting herself up to be perceived as Al Gore of 2000.  She wants to play the part of the noble warrior who is betrayed by her party, and I am afraid she may get away with it.

I don't know what can be done to prevent this, but I'll offer a suggestion.  The media usually loves to expose a hypocrite, so I'd like to see every story about Hillary "fighting for the votes of FL and MI" to include at least one of the statements made by her or her campaign about the sanctity of IA, NH and SC, you know - just for context.  I bet some enterprising young reporter might even be able to connect the dots that she was only saying that at the time to pander to the voters of those states.

Somebody other than Olbermann has to call her out on this stuff.  It's too obvious for no one else to see it, and it's too good a story not to run with.  I know that bashing Hillary is out of style in the MSM since Tina Fey told them to stop, but it's not bashing when you are shining a light on the truth.
