Dependable Erection

Obviously, she's not taking her campaign advice from me

When i wrote:
First, an explicit recognition that Democrats are not running against each other. This means a declaration from each of the campaigns that their opponent is fully qualified to lead the nation and expresses all of the values of the Democratic party: equal justice, equal opportunity, and equal rights in a society that is not governed by fear. Grassroots Democrats get this. We know that we have two strong candidates capable of leading America out of the morass that 4 decades, and especially the past eight years, of mostly Republican rule have left us in.

this wasn't exactly what i had in mind.

Josh:
But just what on earth is Hillary Clinton talking about when she says she's crossed the "commander in chief threshold" which John McCain has also crossed but Barack Obama hasn't?

. . .

Hillary Clinton seems to think she's a strong contender in this latter category. But that's a joke. She's starting her second term in the US senate, where, yes, she serves on the Armed Services committee. Beside that she's never held elective office and she has little executive experience. I think she can argue that she'd make and would make a strong commander-in-chief. But she's pushing a metric by which she's little distinguishable from Barack Obama. I'm honestly surprised she's not drawing chuckles on this one.

A lot of people are seeing red that Hillary's so aggressively pushing the Republican nominee's credentials to be president. And I can see their point. But I'm more surprised that she's pushing an argument she doesn't need to make and frankly can't make credibly.

  • Maybe she's McCain's Trojan Horse?

    Our political system is so sick, so dysfunctional, that it resembles less a 2-party system than a one-party system with "branches."

    Obama touts "change" and this apparently makes him a moving target for...everybody?

    I could respect Hillary more if she would "throw the kitchen sink" at her REPUBLICAN opponent once in a while, not at a fellow Democrat.

    But how genteel of me. Ask yourself, what would Karl Rove do?
