Walter Shapiro - as it appears to me - nicely simulated "Hillary the prudent". Anyway, this is the age of simulation - so why should I complain!
Hillary is a fully-featured corporate candidate - and that's so obvious! With her presence, I don't see any possibility of a strong grassroots movement in the Democratic camp to resolve the Iraq issue, or the issue of rebuilding the Gulf Coast, or to build an effective national health program, or to make break-through in the field of alternate energy. The corporations might expect further benefits anyway!
Hillary's simplified warning - "America's middle class and working families have become the invisible Americans." As if - she would put an end to outsourcing or force the corporations to practice some kind of "radical humanism"!
Anyway most of the democrats would behave in the same pragmatic way as Hilary is doing currently - for the next 22 months of election frenzy; and it's too early to predict anything!
