Just look at who her husband appointed and who is advising her in the current campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Not coincidentally, the article points out<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nDemocratic presidential hopefuls Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Martin O\u2019Malley of Maryland are expected to appear at Netroots Nation on Saturday. Clinton, a former Secretary of State, is not attending the convention. She was scheduled to speak in Iowa and Arkansas on Friday and Saturday, respectively.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When a Democratic contender is afraid to address an audience of the young, Democratic faithful, then you have to wonder why she is running for the Democratic nomination.
