No particular message to go with this copy/paste; I thought it was just an interesting, evocative portrait of Hillary The Scrapper.
It's fairly pro-Hillary on balance, if for nothing else because of how it does enshrine this image of "Hillary The Scrapper," which is exactly the image the Hillary campaign wants to get across.
A couple of sentences had me muttering: for example (not included below) where it says, "She is also quick to recognize when [people] become liabilities and is ready to cast them aside when necessary. Both friends and critics of Mrs. Clinton said she would never have engaged in the long struggle that Mr. Obama did before finally breaking with his longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr."
Um, hello, how long did she wait with casting Solis Doyle aside? That loyal campaign manager of hers who totally messed up on the campaign's finances, both in NY and now, and by many accounts was an insular, petty, ineffective team manager? Or what about Mark bloody Penn, the PR disaster whom she let enmesh imself so deeply into the campaign operations that she couldnt properly ditch him now even if she wanted? If anything Hillary has a reputation for valuing loyalty and devotion to the camp over actual managerial capacities, and for holding on to people long after they are clearly shown to be in over their head.
But overall, it's certainly an evocative portrait, that very clearly lays out what's driving both her campaign and her enduring popularity among a large part of the Democratic electorate, especially the working class Dem voters.
blaming Rove for what Hillary does. It's just saying that Hillary's acting like Rove.
