Hillary the prudent

Democrats burning for the inspirational uplift of Barack Obama or the left-leaning edge of John Edwards may not be ready for an authentic moderate.

    Examples of pandering

    First off, to anon, Mr. Obama has been consistently against the war since the start. Check out this interview from *2002* when he was a state senator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXzmXy226po

    As for specific examples of Ms. Clinton's pandering, how about her short-lived "won't somebody think of the children" campaign against violent video games?

    Or, more recently, her rediculous fake Southern accent in Selma? http://www.ifilm.com/profile/breitbart/video/2829104

    There're lots of words I'd use to describe Ms. Clinton, "authentic" isn't one of them.

    —James
