al gore wasn t. molly, you went through all that with earlier this week you wrote a fascinating piece like they can talk about all they want about repackaging clinton, trying to presenter in a different way but hillary is hillary and what you see is what you get. she is. at the same time, you talk about her having trouble coming out from under bill s shadow, separating herself from obama and it s because she herself is not very well defined for people. and her campaign keeps trying to make this not about her, make it more about the policy or the substance, that s the ground she s most comfortable on, but it s always going to be about her and she has trouble creating an image of herself in people s mientds that really stands out and so you have her saying things like i m comfortable in the center, i want to brung everybody together. her new line now that she s stopped saying everyday americans because they decided that was weird. so the new line is because the every other
