      but look at the front page of HuffingtonPost right now ...before someone does get cold feet.  It's still there.  Unfortunately, I don't know how to do screen captures.

      Huffpo doesn't have a lot of guts. I find the site lacks any kind of uniform quality. Some of the stuff there is great, but there's a lot of crap, too. Like Michael Smerkonish, for instance.

        they are all over the place.  But this really caught my attention.  Edsall should get mad props for the graphic alone.  There's alot of research there.  And it leads, I think, to much more research that can be done from its foundation.

      but I wish people would not use cancer related terms in a pejorative sense.  Cancer is a very serious disease and a shock to any family who experiences it.

      My husband had a malignant tumor removed from his colon in August (they got it all and he is ok), but I still run get chills remembering that moment, when the gastroenterologist told me "Your husband has a tumor in his colon".  I felt has if my world had just come to an end.  And just seeing that word brings that moment back to me.  So I wish people would think before they reach for the that metaphor.

        and your travail.  This was not my metaphor.  It was HuffingtonPost's headline and I thought it was newsworthy in and of itself because it was so visceral.

          I has seen the headline on HuffPo.  In my opinion, a poor choice of words, although Mark Penn has certainly done alot of damage to Hillary's campaign.

          Though, at the end of the day, Hillary is the one responsible.  She picked Penn and went along with him.  The fault is hers.

      Hillary Clinton pulled Hillary Clinton down.  She's proven that she's not very different from George Bush.  Let's hope New Yorkers remember the sorry spectacle of this campaign in 2012.

      by Penn is Edsall's pov.  The diarist is saying (more or less)--and I agree--she picked Penn because she thought he'd do an admirable job and because she felt comfortable with him.  He's not dragging her anywhere she wasn't already thoroughly at home.

      Please, God, don't let the Democratic party make me vote for some pinhead who believes in the GWOT. God grinned...
