Slog - Comments on Shakedown in Chinatown? http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/shakedown_in_chinatown Hillary Clinton is going to be in Seattle on Monday, and in honor of her arrival, Peter Masundire, media director for Washington for Obama, forwarded me this LA Times story. NEW YORK -- Something remarkable happened at 44 Henry St., a grimy Chinatown tenement with peeling walls. It also happened nearby at a dimly lighted apartment building with trash bins clustered by the front door. And again not too far away, at 88 E. Broadway beneath the Manhattan bridge, where vendors chatter in Mandarin and Fujianese as they hawk rubber sandals and bargain-basement clothes. All three locations, along with scores...

Bummer.

Clinton would never ask him to be VP, and vice-versa, you should have seen her face after his speech at the convention in '04. Priceless!

I am disappointed that the odds of a Clinton/Obama ticket are less than nil, because that was the only way I could see Hillary easily winning. Since Hil is definitely getting the nom (barring a sex cult scandal or baby-eating revelations), that means I have to grind my teeth about who is winning until the last minute.

Who really supports Hillary, thinks she'd make a good President, or likes her as a human being?

She has simply cultivated an aura of inevitability.

My attitude: if she can't even keep her husband's pecker in his pants, how will she win the respect of foreign leaders?

Still, I don't think they matter that much overall.

She has simply cultivated an aura of inevitability.

And the third sentence gives weight to the first. I don't know who these millions of people are that want her, but apparently they think they can beat the right-wing's joy-joy when she runs.

You had me on your first two lines, and completely lost me in the end. you could have come up with a better reason for hating Hil than the one Ann Coulter and my Bush adoring mother use so much.

Wellllll, 44% of Democrats, for starters.

Your circle of friends =/= the entire Democratic base

Get it right.

Sen Clinton is as inevitable as Sen Hubert Humphrey.

The GOP would rather run against Edwards or Obama.
