Well, how about one who hadn’t acted like she deserved the nomination from the start, one who doesn’t seem a little miffed that everyone doesn’t automatically agree? How about one who can hire campaign staff as competent and populist as Obama’s, instead of bozoes like Mark Penn and Terry McAuliffe, (apologies to Bozo and clowns everywhere.) How about one who didn’t vote to authorize the stupidest military misadventure in American history? How about one who could, after positioning herself for the job for close to a decade, was actually able to convince an overwhelming majority of the party that she really was the one they wanted? (I mean, come on. It shouldn’t even be close, given how long she’s been planning on this campaign…)

Seriously, the idea that there couldn’t be a stronger female candidate than Hillary strikes me as the most bizarre sexism. It’s not about her being a woman, it’s about her not being as good a politician as she thinks she is.

As for the veep slot, the traditional way one applies for that job is to end one’s campaign as soon as it’s clear you can’t win without extraordinary measures, and to give your endorsement to the one you want to run with. NOT by continuing to slam the most likely nominee, and sending protesters to the Rules Committee meeting to game the system. I think Bill Clinton is a real smart guy, but sometimes he is completely idiotic, and this is another one of those times.

The political establishment aint just afraid of Obama, they are afraid of the past. It haunts them and they won’t stop running from it.

Obama is.. “yes we can”, “si, se puede”..inclusive, offering us a sense of empowerment rather than coming off as a big daddy,messiah, decider, commander guy, sheepherder. I want somebody who at least recognizes that my voice should have a place at the table of the American dream. McCain and Clinton won’t want to know me after they’ve gotten my vote. They’ll love me all the way into the voting booth.

A joke heard on a local radio this morning: A reporter asked Bill Clinton, “where does Hillary find the strength to continue fighting?” Bill replied, “Our marriage is none of your business.”

I wouldn’t want either of them near any levers of power. Chris Dodd is my choice for Senate Majority Leader, and he can’t take the reins of this job from Harry Reid any time too soon. It would be grand if Bill at least could morph into Jimmy Carter, Nobel Prize Winner, which could still happen, but both Clintons have sadly become caricatures of themselves this year. I’m hoping that Obama wins not just because he’s the better candidate IMO, but because the Clintons need a good dose of humble pie.

But everywhere I look, I see dead people.

While Obama campaigns in Florida and Michigan so Rome can be united, someone asks for the role of understudy? Not to worry… Brutus always accessorizes with daggers.

VPOTUS may seem more prestigious, but I have to say I think the smarter choice would be for her to push for Senate Majority Leader, if there’s any chance of her getting it. She’d have all the power she could stand, for as long as she shows she can handle the job, and I think it would make just as many heads explode.

Just because the Right made their lives a living hell during Bill’s terms does not entitle the Clintons to a do-over, and I keep hearing more and more things that sound like that what some feel she’s supposed to get out of this election.

Also, for better or worse, the 1960s are over, and I’d like a president who gets that. I’m just sayin’.
