I don't know about the winning part but I believe you are absolutely right
about her "reading the signs" & "planning ahead"..
I tell you one thing she could do to turn this campaign upside down. If she
went completely off notes and just authentically went into a sensible rant
about this bail-out, the crooked bankers, the lousy politicians, etc., she
would have a lot of people's attentions.
McCain would have to shrug it off, because he voted for the bailout, too,
but what the hell do they have to lose? bobford
