I thought I'd make it clear I understood your point. That's all.

The woman has a lot of support throughout the country, and she has a great deal of vocal and public detractors who don't miss many opportunities to advantage their own politics off of their impressions of her; that includes DU.

I think you'd find that most of the mentions here and elsewhere are critical, so I think DU can spare some room for mentions of things she's actually said - I actually think the tenor of the responses to her almost demand that her own voice is heard.
