35. I think HRC is just trying too hard to be an earthy, down home type person. She never has been that.

In Arkansas she tries that also and people saw through it. She should just try to be the educated successful woman that she is. She can't pull off "I am just one of you common people" thing and she should not try. Obama never tried, "I am one of you" speeches, I think he knew he couldn't pull it off. She needs to just get up on the stage and say what she wants to do and how she will do it. If she did that, then she would have it nailed.
