Different Side Of Clinton Seen By One Tennessean

ANDY MEEK | The Daily News

In a front-page story in Thursday's edition of The Hill, the newspaper covering Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S. Rep. Lincoln Davis, D-Tenn., was reported to have turned down an invitation to meet with presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.

Davis was among a group of so-far-uncommitted Democratic "superdelegates" who were approached in the last day or so by the Clinton camp in the hopes of garnering their endorsement.

"He says that's not true," U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn., told The Daily News about Davis' refusal to meet with Clinton. "But that's on the front page of The Hill. I told him he might as well go ahead and endorse Barack (Obama), because once Hillary sees that he's a dead man anyway."

2. She's a nixonian democrat, so I wouldn't doubt that.

3. Hill Headline false, but Davis might as well endorse Barack; he's a dead man (to Hillary) anyway!

Would have conveyed better what I read in the body of the OP. Your headline is a tad confusing.

4. Only goes to confirm what I've suspected for awhile...

...That Hillary (and probably Bill too) considers the Democratic party to be a personal preserve, and thinks that they're still running the place. It's sad to think about--I used to really like and respect the Clintons, but some people have a hard time letting go of power gracefully.

5. Lost opportunites.

She criticized my health care bill because it wouldn't achieve universal coverage until 1998. Well, today we'd be celebrating the 10th anniversary of having every American with insurance."

Sad.

6. I bet she wanted it to be her legacy too.
