Moonbat, could it just be that they have such similar foreign policies that there is genuine floor-crossing empathy?

I wish I could tell you where I read it, but one theory goes that Hillary is trashing Obama, effectively working to get McCain elected, so that she can run again in 2012. If Obama gets in this cycle, it really is over for Hill and Bill.

Re comment by Swami to wit, “The Presidency is a relationship with the governed. And to enter knowingly into any relationship with a known liar is a big mistake.” As we say in the military, HOOAH! It is, however, a mistake, the American people made in the last two consecutive presidential elections, one that we have made many times in the past, and one I am sure we will make many times in the future.

I agree with those who feel that Hillary will either not receive an offer to join the ticket as a Vice-Presidential candidate or will decline if offered such a position. Instead, I see Hillary as someone who, if she cannot be the first female president, sees herself as the most likely to be the first female Secretary of Defense?

Well lets see here, The Economist writes this week that Obama is “Almost there…” and continues to re-hash all these supposed huge issues (racial issues that may lie just underneath the surface for some voters, Reverend Wright, putting his hand over his heart during a pledge of allegiance, etc.) that are in fact irrelevant to me, and I think most people. So we are faced with a situation very much up in the air and it will not end in the foreseeable future. To me it is all an indication of how terribly broken this system is. I don’t understand why it has to go on so long, its not like we are going to learn anything new in the next three weeks.

a case of the wheel that squeaks the loudest gets the grease?

Hillary is done as far as the nomination goes, now she’s maximizing on exposure because whether it’s good or bad it’s a valuable capital she can use to broker power in the future

I once said that I would get behind Hillary if she won the nomination, but I no longer honor that statement. Hillary’s Bosnia episode, as trivial as it may seem, shows me a quality in her character that my life’s experience has taught me to stay clear of. She’s an unrepentant lair who can’t muster the courage to confess her transgressions. Rather than admit that she purposely tried to deceive voters with her tales of combat experience in Bosnia she choose to deflect her lies by the use cheap humor and feeble excuses. She can’t be trusted, and honesty evidently is not a value she hold in high regard.
The Presidency is a relationship with the governed. And to enter knowingly into any relationship with a known liar is a big mistake.
