Andrea seems pretty deflated

She's tried to push something about Hillary being forced to go negative in the last week due to tightening polls, but her heart doesn't seem to be in it. Pretty sure the writings on the wall with the early voting numbers.

I've seen her defend HRC though... I think she resents the Clinton Machine, most in the media do. They need to ask themselves why the Clintons felt the need to create such a "machine" to protect them in the first place

Because you got the two most powerful political animals as a couple, that's
unprecedented.

Effective politicians need to do that; create well oiled organizations.
And they'll have 3 presidency between them.

That's like complaining lawyers are good at making a case... WEll, duh.

.. Their D.C years were ugly because the Elite Sally Quinn crowd thought they were presumptuous and of course, engaged in sensationalist BS against them. So they went on the offense/defense . Whitewater was also complete BS.

I don't give them wrong these days.

Medically I mean. She seems more and more addlepated on air these days and she seems to be constantly struggling to finish sentences. She also seems to be groping for the right words. That doesn't change the fact that when it comes to the Clintons she's a mean as a snake - but she seems really off to me.

Most of this year I've been saying it's time for her to retire, but that's because she's like a dog on a bone with anything Clinton, and never able to be objective about it. Snarky, nasty, mean, petty even.

After Andrea got into Hillary's face about something I noticed a shift in how H handles A. At the next big public thing Hill breezed right past her with a smile, speaking over Andrea's question:"Hi, Andrea!" Next time with the press corps, Hill didn't call on her first, but second or third, and only one question. And Hillary has kept this up ever since.

Andrea still has a seat on the plane. Hillary smiles and is utterly polite. But Queen Andrea gets no special treatment. Needless to say, it has not improved her disposition.

I think Andrea sees herself as the queen of the press corps - I think Sec. Clinton is finished with her.

Which was why I said that we have to send him a list of her positive ads. Maybe we have to send her a list too. Via Twitter. Don't have it so someone else would have to do it.
