DailyKos blogger GrassrootsMom goes into painstaking detail, with links to government Web sites. I've never seen the likes of this since I started paying attention to this campaign. It's a must-read.

I think that it is telling how much Obama was able to do in a year's time. Clinton has great ideas, but she has too much political ambition, in my opinion. Those bills submitted with no co-sponsorship are really symbolic. In order to get bills passed, you need to build coalition, and even then the chances of getting your bill passed "as is" is very slim. So, to submit bills with no co-sponsorship is really just a symbolic measure, with no real intentions of getting the bills passed. I think too that her experience angle is really about politics, not about change. To get things done requires relationship building, and, at this point, she seems to be a more polarizing figure than Obama. Blackwatch!!!!!!

Did anyone read the comments under the blog entry? Commenters who liked what she wrote strongly expressed their enthusiasm, and those who disagreed with her left some pretty nasty messages.

Latasha, I don't dare read it! But that does seem to be the pattern of the Clinton-Obama race. It's never "Here's why I think Clinton would be better: ..."; it's "How dare you not vote for Clinton?" The theme of the Bill Clinton 1992 campaign was hope and optimism; the theme of the 2008 Hillary Clinton campaign is guilt and malaise. It's a testimony to the loyalty of her supporters that she has gotten as far as she has with the dismal, hopeless, depressing, accusatory campaign that she has run.
