40. no, which is why I never use anecdotes unless responding to anecdotes
:shrug:

When you hear so much from so many, there might be something to it.

So much of what from so many who? Here's where the title of my reply comes into play: EVERYONE I know supports Clinton. And I know A LOT of people. :)

The premise that only a bunch of socialists really have trouble with Hillary on the left just doesn't hold water.

Well, if countless people have trouble with Hillary, countless more have trouble with Obama. And countless more have trouble with Edwards. And a whole bunch of countless folks have trouble with Kucinich.

We face a replay of '04 where Kerry was shoved down our throats

Escept he wasn't. :) He was voted on by the Dem electorate who rejected everyone else in the field.
