2. Well, for my part, I'm not surprised that he's supporting her...

...but I am surprised how vigorously he's campaigning against Obama.

I used to love Clinton, and still sort of do, but I never dreamed he'd go negative on a fellow Democrat.

3. Its a primary

and a fight for Hillary's political future. OF course they would do what they are doing. I don't fault the Clintons for that. I semi-support Edwards, so I'm no Hillary supporter either. I just don't get all worked up about business as usual.

9. I automatically anyone and any post claiming "Rove".

I'm sure Limbaugh approves of your smearing it all over DU, though.

8. Michelle and the Elizabeths are supporting their spouses.

Bill is being an attack dog. There's a difference. Furthermore he's abusing his position as an ex-President to do so.

16. When I saw that video of him cutting off the reporter who asked about the Nevada law suit

I thought, "What happened to that Clinton charm?" He kept talking over the reporter, twisting his words, pulling a "when did you stop beating your wife" on him. Now I'm sure he's exhausted from the campaign, and not at his best. But for the first time I understood what people mean when they talk about the Clinton machine, and their ambition. And for the first time, it really bothered me how he skirted the truth about Lewinsky. And for the first time, I was disturbed about old corruption charges I'd dismissed back in the day. It was as if a curtain was lifted, and I saw something I really wish I hadn't seen.

17. Yes. It has improved. I am reminded that even though he is far from perfect,

he was the best president in my lifetime, and Hillary will provide a level of competence and leadership unparalleled in the current field.
