I was very disappointed with this article, I expected a contrast of opposing positions and personalities, what I got was a piece that seems (to me) to be a stealth attack on Hillary. Virtually every time Hillary is mentioned it is either negative ("Mrs. Clinton can seem harsh when she goes on the attack; ") or can be interpreted negatively ("Because she wants Barack to lose, so she can run again, of course! Ms. Van Werven said with a laugh. I just bet Hillary was watching Sarahs speech on T.V. Wednesday night and cheering, You go, girl! ). While Governor Palin seems to get a break: "Sarahs smile is sincere, which I never felt from Hillary, who has anger and resentment in her eyes, said Ann Schmuecker, a delegate from Mountain Home, Arkansas, where she met the Clintons decades ago." and "Ms. Palin has shown a knack for attacking without seeming nasty. " [ed. I almost choked when I read that, this author and I apparently have different definitions of nasty.]
