6. She and Thompson were invited to a high level counter-terrorism meeting
I saw that as a sign that both had been tapped to be the chosen reps...as for Sen. Clinton believing all of this, she's too smart to have, and besides, she's been on the inside for more than 14 years now.

When she got spanked with her healthcare program while her husband was in office, I think she learned a bitter lesson- nobody gets power in Washington without signing on the dotted line. Since then, she seems to have learned how to play the game so well and made the right allies that she may well become the first woman president...I always thought a black man would get it first.

In her transformation, however, she has gone from being one of the people I most admired in Washington to being a snake I'm not sure I would trust. Would she have real power in the Presidency, or would she be beholden to the large corporations that seem to have a stranglehold on our system?

If she was the one in control, I would give a 50% chance that she would dismantle all of this crap that's been put in place...but since that leaves the other option also, that means there is really only a 25% chance...those are long odds...
