You say tomay-to, I say tomah-to

It would be notable if Hillary Clinton were not the consumate political professional by now.

The real questions are: how much change does the electorate desire and how much change does our survival and prosperity require?

If we only need to shift our bearings by degree, she's probably just as good or slightly better than McCain or Thompson.

But let it not be said that her candidacy heralds any kind of momentous sea-change from the policies and preferences of the Bush administration.

The greatest distinctions between George W. Bush and William Jefferson Clinton have been those of intelligence and competence.
