and they feel they get traction. That does affect her electabilty. Not my fault. Many of the mostly liberal wing of the party that supported her can't be counted on to support the Clintons this time because of the bridges they burnt, during the Iraq era and since then with their neocon foreign policy and prowallstreet views. The centrists wing went along with the republicans on impeachment. That is just a fact.

She is inheriting Obama's campaign team and most were too young at the time to remember this stuff.
