I'd note that Colin Powell used a personal account for government business and didn't turn over any of his emails, he didn't even keep them.[/QUOTE]

Yes but email was quite different back then.

Pretty much the same as it is now, though it's use at State was newer. It's a huge double standard.

Big difference back then was Powell didn't have an industrialized effort trying to tear him down.

Big difference back then was Powell didn't have an industrialized effort trying to tear him down.

“When I entered the State Department I found an antiquated system that had to be modernized and modernized quickly,” he said. “I started using [email] in order to get everybody to use it, so we could be a 21st-century institution and not a 19th-century [one].

(1) back then, politics wasn't as dirty as it is now. Goes for both sides.
(2) he wasn't running for President.

Spence, will liberals grill Hilary they same way they frilled Sarah Palin? Will they go through Hilary's garbage? Will the New York Times run a baseless front page story saying that Hilary had a child from an affair, like they did to John McCain?

At the present time, presidential politics is ugly. Both sides are happy to engage in smear tactics. If she's not up for someone asking her whether or not she signed a form, how is she going to handle challenges from folks who are genuinely hostile?

She chose to get involved in all these scandals, she chose to claim she was under sniper fire, she chose to say what difference does it make why the Americans were killed in Libya, she chose not to say "it was my fault, it was my ambassador and he asked for more security."

Are we making up all these incidents which question her morality? You can desperatrely try to spin them all you want, maybe you can get a job in her PR department. But if she wants to get involved in scandals, blame her for the media attention, not the media.
