Clinton gets her party started

Wins in Massachusetts, California and other big states, plus an uncommonly good speech by their candidate, made a New York Super Tuesday crowd very happy.

    On voting for someone who "can win"

    Look, in 2004 the Democrats did precisely that with Kerry.

    A war hero who was strictly middle of the road and largely innoffensive, Kerry even shot for that unifier label with people talking about him having echoes of Mandela going for him.

    He got crushed pretty thoroughly by a president who had managed to land America in two wars, failed to stop the worst terrorist attack in history and who by that time had a name for being borderline retarded.

    Don't vote for the guy you think will win, vote for the person you think will lead America best.
