Hillarysworld

Good article, especially for Huff Po. I particularly like this excerpt:


Of great relevance to Obama's political future, Clinton also still possesses and controls all the domestic political riches that made her such a formidable presidential candidate. Her support among women voters remains strong, as does her appeal among independents, Clinton admirers and meat-and-potato, middle-class Democrats--of both the liberal and conservative kind--who were never really wowed by Obama's vague and undefined promises of "change." Her low-profile effectiveness as Secretary of State further polishes her resume, and renders her all the more attractive to those who have preferred experience over charisma.

It is very telling that Hillary's appeal has increased to such a significant degree.  Obviously, her own abilities, intelligence, and loyalty to country can be credited, as can the dignified, determined manner in which she does her job, and without show-boating.  But, I think there's another factor involved, as well.  IMO, we PUMAs were not the only ones who realized Hillary won the nomination, which the DNC decided to award to Obama.  I think it's likely that all of the talk about Hillary's running and her high approval ratings are not just due to her performance as SOS, but also because a huge number of people, including MSM (though they would never admit it) have known all along that she was the ligitimate Democratic nominee. 

Of course to us, the 2008 primary was  - for want of a better term - "unfinished business".   The general sense I get is that much of the rest of the country feels that way, as well.
