For most of her political career, she has managed to avoid unscripted venues that might prove embarrassing or reveal inconsistencies. This has unquestionalby been expedient for her, but it has not prepared her to run in '08.

Good point.

Hillary is the product of a time so distant now... She honed her skills in a different world. The leftist paradigm described by Saul Alinsky is inappropriate for the internet world of today. The organs of mass communication have changed utterly, and the means of mobilizing mass opinion are now highly decentralized.

This makes Hillary obsolete. Her echo chamber of sycophants won't let her know this, though.

The only danger is that Hillary and her cohorts on the far left may try to lash out at the internet as they come to realize that the jig is up. I don't know what good it will do them, but it still worries me.

Steely, you've got a good point as well. With the bloggers out there, Hillary's allies in the media won't be able to totally run cover for her the way they could when the media enjoyed its monopoly over the news.

I think VRWCTexan (see post #32) is also on to something. Expect to see lots of interviews and speeches; debates will occur only out of necessity and under conditions of her choosing.
