Yes, we were being told she had it locked up before 2008 and before Obama entered the race too. TYPICAL corporatist propaganda trying to make it sound like its wrapped up and that Republicans hate her so much to try and get some emotional Democrats to support her. The more people start thinking on issues and where she and other people running against her stand if they are to the left of her (which it shouldn't be too hard to do), the more she will lose support like she did in 2008.
Now all Obama conservative if you want. The better way of characterizing him in 2008 election was more "nebulous" in the detail of what "Hope and Change" meant, and people "hoped" that it was a more progressive agenda than they heard more explicitly from Clinton, and than what he actually carried out later. Some of us voted for Edwards even after he withdrew from the primaries, before of course the "news" came out on him, but we were being basically told to "screw the message" these people are giving out. Just vote for the party. Enough of us are sick of the results of that strategy that we're going to be a lot more demanding this time around..
And back in those days, when I created this photoshop during those primaries, I was already jaded by what I saw then too.
