A Sure Loss
[Read the article: Hillary Clinton always comes prepared]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Until Bill Clinton managed to achieve the Presidency, I was a solid, Southern, yellow dog Democrat. Between Bill C. and the DLC, I completely lost faith in the Democratic party. The 2006 elections gave me some hope (very late) that there was a serious opposition party in this country. Lately, I'm not sure the Washington crowd has gotten the message.
To put this as plainly as possible, I'm not staying home on election day, but Hillary Clinton will never get my vote. There's a small possibility that the Republicans can present someone I can tolerate, but the check mark goes to the Libertarian Party, particularly if Hillary is the Democratic Party candidate.
For the moment, I'm waiting to see if either major party finds someone who wants to shake the status quo. I'm not hopeful.
One final note: Of all the Salon writers, Walter Shapiro is th one that that I would line up to say "go fuck yourself" to. Talbot may think he adds value, but I'm thinking I can get the "inside the beltway" opinion for free elsewhere.
