I'm not sure who this woman is, but her impersonation of Hillary is eerily spot on. 

The first time I watched this video, it called to mind the scenes from "Michael Clayton" of the corporate lawyer (played so perfectly by Tilda Swinton) practicing her facial expressions and vocal intonations before a press conference.  I wondered if anyone else had made a similar connection between Hillary and that character from "Michael Clayton," so through a series of Google searches, I discovered something quite troubling indeed:  Hillary's close ties to Monsanto.  And the group that calls itself "Rural Americans for Hillary?" = Monsanto lobbyists!   Holy shit!  Why would any true rural Americans support a presidential candidate who keeps such unseemly bedfellows?

I guess the media has been too focused on "Bittergate" and Rev. Wright to discuss something that is actually germane to a candidate's integrity.

This is the kind of non-landslide victory an Evan Bayh endorsement will get you - 2%.  I'm guessing Senator Bayh's name was crossed off the list of potential running mates.

Clinton 51% Obama 49%

The Indianapolis Star endorsed Hillary Clinton.

In other shocking news:  I just ate a muffin.  It was delicious.

Further evidence that Indiana's primary is a pretty big deal this year:  I have already received three campaign-related telephone calls.  Two, I believe, were polls conducted by local congressional candidates.  But my favorite came last night.  It went something like this:

Me:  Hello

HC:  Hi, this is Debbie from the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Me:  Uh huh.

HC:  Can we count on your vote in the Indiana Democratic Primary on May 6th?

Me:  No.

Then, she mentioned something about Hillary coming to town on April 23rd and that was that. 

So far, it has been pretty fun giving my opinions on things, but I'm still waiting for Ted Kennedy to call me!

This is Hillaryarious!

Chelsea Clinton visited Indianapolis yesterday and apparently someone asked her a question about a touchy subject:

Chelsea Clinton dismisses Lewinsky question

Posted: 08:50 AM ET

(CNN) — Chelsea Clinton has fielded a lot of questions as she campaigns for her mother's presidential bid, but on Tuesday the former first daughter faced a particularly awkward query for the first time.

Campaigning at Butler College in Indianapolis, an audience member asked the 28 year-old whether the Monica Lewinsky scandal had damaged her mother's reputation.

"Wow, you're the first person actually that's ever asked me that question in the, I don't know maybe, 70 college campuses I've now been to, and I do not think that is any of your business," Clinton responded, appearing a bit surprised by the question. The crowd immediately cheered loudly at the response.

It was supposed to be the last question of the event, but Chelsea Clinton decided to take one more, saying, "I don't think that should be the last question."

I don't think that question was out of bounds and I don't really understand her response.  In fact, I think it could have been a perfect opportunity to illustrate her mother's strengths or merely to point out that it obviously didn't hurt her reputation in the race to win her Senate seat.
