I noticed that. As with Obama's factual liberties, it's unnecessary. The truth is she did go to the Balkans, at a time when there was danger. She was not a major diplomatic presence, but neither was she a diplomatic non-entity.

She would have gone into "Terminator" mode, fighting, biting, clawing and never quitting until her very last circuit was fried.

cjan, you're likely right, but I have to say, I was not happy with that whole mess; I honestly saw it as some of my fellow Dems wanting to keep juggling until they got a result they wanted.

I take your point, Level, but it's not exactly new politics is it ? Remember JFK running in a dead heat with Nixon ? Chicago's Mayor Richard J. Daley, Joe Kennedy and Sam Gianncana(Chicago mob boss, ex partners with Joe during prohibition ) were in constant phone contact with Daley repeating, how many votes do you need ? The slogan in Chicago in those days was "Vote early and vote often".. JFK was later quoted in a book (who's name I can't recall, but it was a legitimate account). JFK was laughing recalling those events fondly and said his daddy Joe angrily asked him that night, "goddammit, Jack, how many votes do we need to win ? I'm not paying for a goddamn landslide !"

I wish he would have won convincingly, now; I wish we didn't have the damned stupidest method of electing a president this side of a Monty Python skit.
