Hillary is a user and once you've completed your usefulness you're forgotten. After all these years in politics how many friends does she have? Sandy Berger maybe but I don't see all of her contemporaries stepping up and publicly endorsing her run for the president. If you didn’t get my drift than I’ll tell you directly.

Coincidence? Maybe, but I get a sense that this fellow might be running scared and is trying to find another body who is willing to sell his soul for a chance to turn the clock back to the 1990's. America knows that a vote for Hillary is a vote for the past. Her slogan of experience is true. She's had so much experience dealing with Bill's antics that I heard if she does become head of state Bill will become out of state as in splits-ville.

If they get their hat handed to them, then we are all happy we can't be bought? I don't get that. I don't think it is, or ever was, about the money. Ross Perot anyone? When the Iowa caucass predictions turned out to be as accurate as a Bolaris weather forecast, all the political hacks pondered how they could be so wrong. Tie into your last blog about this country's disinagrating attitude toward the press...it seems like we are getting more style than substance. What happened to doing the legwork, not just making the most obvious of observations for the sake of having something to say. BTW Larry, don't take this as criticism, it isn't. I just never got the money argument. I also am growing more frustrated when politicians and politico's seem suprised that, by and large, most people actually give a damn. Why the big suprise that candidates are not courting the opinion of a select, chosen few, but pretty much everyone? The parity in Republican primary results are no better example of this.

That is BS. She has 7 years experience as an elected official. Surely we are not counting experience like Whitewater?! If you are counting for-profit business experience then let's skip her and go right to Bloomberg or Gates 35 years experience doing what?

Obama has values and character and won't be sneaking in Hollywood stars into the White House for affairs. To the person who said Obama is nowhere near JFK, I agree.

I really like the idea of Tom Ridge as VP for McCain. That would be a strong ticket. Ridge should have been Bush' choice in 2000 but instead he went with the crooked Chaney. Ridge would make a fine President one day. I am a strong supporter of him. GW was real smart in cutting the legs out of all the moderate Republicans who might challenge him. He put Ridge in charge of Homeland Security BEFORE he had the CIA and others reporting to HS! IOW, he had no power. He put Whitman in charge of the EPA. In a Republican Administration that is like putting Ma Bell in charge of anti-trust legislation. Lastly, he marched Colin Powell up the UN to deliver that career-killing speech knowing it was full of lies. Crafty one that GW. We need a man of character like Tom Ridge leading this nation!

As to what he can accomplish with his vim and ideals, hopefully we'll have a chance to see starting January 2009. And now for the pipe dream: McCain-Obama ticket for president (but which party...), idealogically they seem to have much in common, not the least the "change" message resonating among independant voters.
