Hillary has been VETTED, any question that comes up about her is already "Asked and answered; don't you have anything salient to talk about? Gee, anything to try to distract from the issues..."
You apparently don't understand that oppo research can get nasty, despite those two examples. Old news doesn't matter, but NEW news does.
Warren had to WORK to get elected in MA, even against an incompetent like Scott Brown. Why? Oppo research. It was only Brown's ham-handedness when he got the oppo material that enabled Warren's team to flip the script.
When they tried to paint her as a "liar" about her declarations of Native American heritage (she's not on any list), it was working, until Brown's campaign numbnutz crew decided to rally out in the streets singing "Pow Wow The Indian Boy." The racism just stunk up the campaign.
But hey, we're progressive Massachusetts and we don't go for that kind of crap--that Pow Wow shit would go over just fine in some of our lest tolerant states.
