Hillary Clinton is a much better former candidate for president than she was a candidate for president.
While listening to last night’s speech, I was convinced for the first time that she really would make a good president, and she really does have strong leadership qualities.
I could not help but think that if she had campaigned [...]

We have a presumptive nominee for the Democratic nomination for the office of President of the United States of America. His name is Barack Obama.
Most of us recognized him as the winner of the Democratic primary contest well over a month ago. Last night he secured the number of delegates necessary to win the nomination.
Or did he? Clinton gave [...]
… and lost her mind.
I have friends who have expressed concern for Obama’s safety and worry about him getting assassinated. Friends bringing it up in conversation is way different than Hillary bringing it up in a television interview.
You’ve got to wonder what is going on in her head? All of the candidates knew the party [...]
What I Learned from the Indiana and N.C. Primaries

If Clinton Wanted to do What’s Best for America…

On January 25th The New York Times endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential candidacy. The paper acknowledged that both Clinton and Obama were excellent choices, but they went with Clinton because they thought she had a better “here and now” record. But they also cautioned her:
As strongly as we back her [...]
On the campaign trail in Pennysylvania yesterday, Obama said: “Either Democrat would be better than John McCain, and all three of us would be better than George Bush.”
Clinton, now in perpetual attack mode, addressed her supporters with this response: “We need a nominee who will take on John McCain, not cheer on John McCain.”
Cheer on?
Bush [...]
Wednesday night’s debate between Clinton and Obama was one big media blunder. Moderators Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos chose to focus on missteps made by both candidates in the previous three weeks instead of on the issues affecting average voters.
I am pretty sure that most people don’t really care to hear Obama explain for the [...]
Yes, using the “L” Word as an epithet is back in style, and not only by those you would expect to use it. The Washington Post reports:
But as Obama heads into the final presidential primaries, Sen. John McCain and other Republicans have already started to brand him a standard-order left-winger, “a down-the-line liberal,” as McCain [...]
