And heres one, slightly on the lighter side, about how one woman sees Hillary's last days. The contrarian in me always finds it interesting to see someone speak outside the demographic boxes the media puts people into. Enjoy!

When I was 25 (okay, 32), I got dumped by my first untrue love. He’d
fallen, six years into our relationship, for his next-door neighbor, a
really pretty actress with the IQ of an asparagus and the ability to fill many a conversational lull with tributes to liposuction. But I digress.
The point is what happened after I got dumped. There was
no stopping me. I wrote the guy letters. Long ones. I wrote articles,
nominally on other topics, but really about him and the way he dumped
me. These, unfortunately, got published. I phoned him in the pathetic
hope of raising my stock by trashing his new girlfriend, along with the
caliber of the movies in which she very, very briefly appeared. This
was, as you will likely surmise, amazingly easy to do and also totally
ineffective. I didn’t – couldn’t — let go of a guy who exchanged me for
a moron, and I can’t believe these many years later that I’m telling
you all this because the memory of my mortifying, excruciating almost
erotic attachment to stone-cold failure haunts me to this day.
I was, in other words, simply a younger version of Hillary Rodham
Clinton. I simply could not get out of the race, even though, let’s
face it, the race was over.
What can I say? Everything I hate about myself I see in Hillary. It’s
not the stuff you might suspect, either. Hillary’s self-absorption; her
sense that the election is not about Iraq or defaulted mortgages or
Wall Street piggery, or her;
her Bosnian strolls down memory lane; her long and eventful
relationship with Bill — this is why much of the press dislikes her,
maybe with reason. But not me.
I don’t even hate Hillary because she screwed up health care. Frankly,
anyone can screw up health care. It’s the other aspects of Hillary that
make me squirm. To put it bluntly: they are uncomfortably familiar.
What kills me is the way Hillary deals with men other than her husband,
especially powerful men. Whenever Hillary thinks Obama is onto
something – a phrase, say, or even a piece of rhetoric, however tedious
– she doesn’t do what most politicians do: which is to, say, challenge
it. No, what Hillary does is fiddle with a syllable or two and then
appropriate the last thing that pops out of her rival’s mouth as though
it were her own (Yes we WILL!!).
Whenever Hillary hears a new idea, however stupid – ‘Let’s suspend the
federal gas tax for the entire summer, and to hell with the laws of
supply and demand! Let’s authorize Bush to take military action in Iraq
and sit back and see what happens!’ – she grabs it, devours it, and
calls it her own.
Then, if some new powerful guy comes along and disputes the very
strategy she’s adopted from a previous powerful guy – like, oh, let’s
say, maybe Obama might come along and dispute the wisdom of our
military presence in Iraq — Hillary will turn around and repudiate
every previous position in order to espouse that one too. In fact
she’ll say she completely regrets “the way the president used the
authority.” Like she never gave it up, panting and groaning.
I know I’m not supposed to talk about her that way, as though she were
a groupie groveling before a rock star. I’m supposed to, as a close
friend recently suggested, “understand that Hillary has to pander.” But
you know what? One of the wonderful things about getting older is that
you can actually stop pandering, and make your decisions clear-eyed,
without reference to gender.
I’m voting for a guy.
. No wonder you hesitate to see that the math/stat is heavily against your prospect for the candidacy. It's virtually impossible for you to win from here on.
BTW, thanks for the clip
