So for that reason I would’ve voted for her.

Now, I don’t know who I’ll vote for. Probably John Scalzi.

One of the many things that has to be done with and over for the next few months is Clinton-hatred. It is an obstruction and a bad mental habit which people need to cure themselves of.

Repeat after me – the Clintons are not going away. They are a significant force with all their faults and failings.

To spend any more time thinking about those faults and failings, or talking about them, is to do the Republican-biased media’s work for it.

If you must, if you really must, continue to moan about the Lewinsky affair and all the rest of it, wait until January next year.

that ‘woman’ is pathetic. i hope she goes away for a loooong time.

I would have held my nose and voted for Hillary over McCain, but I’m much happier with Obama. I still blame her husband for being an idiot loser who blew a great chance for America because of his libido and an average looking girl in a thong.* I just did not want a third Clinton term.** Considering our recent experience with Presidential dynasties, I’m really glad Obama’s in there.

* No major offense meant to Ms. Lewinsky. She was a bystander at a train-wreck. Sort-of.
** Of course, my contempt for Bill is nothing compared to that for the House wing-nuts who tried to impeach a President for not keeping his zipper zipped. That fiasco made Bush impeachment-proof for much worse incompetencies.

Have you not been paying attention for, oh, the entirety of American history?

*All* Presidents lie about something.

I like a lot about Richardson, but he’s an undisciplined campaigner, and there are credible clues that he may have some of the same personal weaknesses as the last Democratic president.

For AG, Obama has a deep bench to choose from. For instance, John Edwards. Or Eric Holder, former deputy Attorney General under Clinton, currently serving on Obama’s VP search team. Or Michigan governor (and former Michigan attorney general) Jennifer Granholm, who’s term-limited as governor and can’t ever run for President or VP because she was born a Canadian.

That said…

I felt she went negative in Pennsylvania and had poor control over Bill (who became more of a public jerk over the spring than he’d been before). I’d always felt Obama was a more inspiring speaker. So, a few weeks before the Pennsylvania primary, I was one of those liberal, white, middle-aged women (y’know, Hillary’s base) who voted for Barack. I’ve run into a surprising number of us in the same boat – we REALLY wanted to vote for Hillary, but when she went Republican…err, negative, we just couldn’t do it.
