Speaking as one of those skeptics, Hillary will have to come up with something new and different to convince me there is someone inside the persona I would want to vote for. We are at different places on this one, Dale. I can think of other Dem politicians I would prefer but who are much less likely to get the Dem nomination. But, among the Rep politicians likely to get their nomination, I can't think of a one I would vote for over Hillary, particularly given the stranglehold the far right has over the Rep Party right now.

Her calculated political style serves as a barrier to her connecting with people. Bill Clinton possesses this trait also but it is not as evident as it is in Hillary. I also wait with interest to see the timing of her announcement of her candidacy for President. She would have had better acceptability if she did not choose to run for Senate and instead declared her intentions to run for President. Very similar to what Mitt Romney did with the Governorship of Mass.

Vintage Clinton to illustrate 'her concern' for the military she once shunned and treated with disdain. Politics and pandering have no limits. Cold War Medal From our World War II veterans to our veterans just returning from Iraq, it is important that we remember and honor their contributions. It is also important that we not forget those who served during the Cold War, a decades long struggle in which the forces of freedom eventually triumphed. Our victory in the Cold War was made possible by the willingness of millions of Americans in uniform to stand prepared against the threat from behind the Iron Curtain In order to honor the service of Cold War veterans, I have sponsored legislation to create a military service medal to members of the Armed Forces who served honorably during the Cold War. Our victory in the Cold War was a tremendous accomplishment and the men and women who served during that time deserve to be recognized. I plan to introduce this legislation again this Congress.
