There was something offputting about her personality. Setting everything else aside(which of course we can't) being very likable goes a long way to being accepted/defended/supported. Maybe it's the grease that makes the parts operate smoothly. I think her book outlining every cause of her defeat wasn't a gracious thing for her to do.

I was in lower/midtown Manhattan on my way to a meeting. Needless to say, the meeting was cancelled. We were all trapped. No cell phones, no telephones, no trains.

The sidewalks were packed with people all headed northbound, all intent on getting out. I walked into the middle of 3rd Avenue and looked southbound down the street. I could see smoke billowing up into the sky where I knew the Trade Center buildings were. I had friends and neighbors who worked there. And, I was dealing with a personal issue. I didn't want to go to that meeting in the first place because my husband was at home deteriorating from Pancreatic cancer. So, I was pretty much trying not to panic. &nbs... less
