Could it be that there is a major effort from the corporate elite, including the military contractors, that is putting so much support/pressure on her, that coupled with her ego, that she is breaking? Power brokers might be really worried about the loss of power if Barak Obama wins the election.

The power brokers include the right wing, including the right wing media including Scaife and Murdock.

If this is true, Hillary is a major force to maintain the status quo.

I am a customer of Dish NW which is owned by AT&T. For the basic channels you get Free Speech TV, Linkmedia, University of Calif TV, University of Washington TV, etc. Free Speech TV and Link show Democracy Now and other liberal shows and they have fund drives for user support, so one would guess that they would be inexpensive to add to a cabel line up.

The new fiber to the home offering from AT&T, called UVERSE, has all kinds of wizz bang features at the same price of my Dish NW and DSL.  My installation was scheduled.  They told me that the channels are the same as Dish NW.
