    I wonder if the 21 year old Hillary Clinton would be willing to have a beer with the 60 year old version of herself. Can you imagine what the yound campus lefty ideologue and self-styled intellectual would make of a woman who was reduced to trying to get all the support of "hard working white people" in West Virginia, and throwing back shots in rural Pennsylvania? How did this girl from Wellesley become the self styled voice of the working class, fighting against the college educated? I wonder, now that she has lost, if she looks back and wonders how it all came to that.
