Hillary is the only one that can give them a win, I fear.
Not necessarily. I keep looking for evidence of a true progressive heart in that woman and I ain't seen it yet. She is taking serious heat from the left for the establishment coterie she has gathered around her, the DLC, the Clinton admin. retreads like Madeline Albright, Holbrook, etc, dickheads like Terry McCauliffe, now Begala, Mark Penn and frankly, the unavoidable dickhead himself, Bill. She is accused, rightly, of incessantly and obsessively triangulating every issue, But last night she said she has found her own voice. And in the past few days there have been promises of an internal shake-up. So we'll see what happens.
To me, it's a real long shot since in politics ya pretty much gotta dance with the one who brung ya, but it really depends on whether she can break out of her scripted mode and start speaking in a genuine and passionate way about anything she really believes.
I saw that little teary moment. I thought it was genuine and it kinda makes me shake my head to see people on this thread who are already so passionately tied to one candidate immediately start calling it fake, which is of course exactly what the wingnuts were doing.
Bottom line: she's got alot to answer for, but she's not irredeamable.
I would stake most everything on this, however: by the time both candidates are chosen, regardless of how they sound now, they will be sounding more and more like tweedledum and tweedledee. |
