Will the Huffington Post implode when Hillary gets the nomination?
Or will it continue to slide into the next US or People magazine?

I'd say 80 percent of it is Gossipy bullshit with the other 20 percent devoted to bashing Hillary.

Joking around is OK, but too many men and women have experienced the trials and pains when their spouses find themselves and come out of the closet. It is not funny!!

11. Exactly
I have a real big problem when a supposed Progressive rag like the Huffington Post goes overboard like this.

13. I have, too. No pretence even of even-handedness. It's pro-Obama, anti-Hillary all the time. nt

16. I gave it up, too. Why do progressives think it's such brilliant tactics to bash Democrats?

19. Beats the @#*! outta me. I like BO, HRC and JE. They're all good.
Hell, I like their spouses better than all three of them.

Put Michelle, Bubba and Elizabeth in the hopper and pull out a name and I'd vote for them.

12. Well... Huffington Post Is Fairly Progressive... Hillary, Is Not...
And when progressive pundits look at her campaign tactics, they get a strong whiff of stench.

Have any of the HuffPo pundits lied about Hillary?

:shrug:

21. Arianna can barely speak english and she thinks she knows
more about America than Americans do. That in itself would be ok if she wasn't always 'telling' us what is wrong and what is right about us, our Gov., and our candidates.

18. True... Her Domestic Record In Many Ways Is Progressive, But...
when she decided she was gonna run for president, she felt she had to burnish her "tough" foreign policy credentials. And THAT is what turned many of us off to her. Playing footsie with neo-con warmongers, and then running a part triangulation, part Rovian campaign, has only solidified her image as an ends-justify-the-means Democrat.

NOT my first or second choice by ANY means!

23. True. And Obama has done the same thing. They're playing for the general election.

In this sense, Edwards has held fast in a way BO and HRC have not.

24. I was talking about Arianna and all the posts after sound like
they are thinking that about Hillary. Which is absolutely wrong.
