Viva Hillary Clinton!

Although she won Puerto Rico easily, Clinton seemed to be campaigning in an alternate reality, as hopes for the nomination slipped away.

    The Alternate Reality Is Obama's and His Supporters'

    Obamanuts, enjoy the moment that's about to come, since it's the last good thing that will happen in your hero's campaign.

    The people at large like the Democratic program better than what the Republicans are offering -- more Bush -- but there's a threshold test that any candidate must pass: can I trust him with the enormous power of the office he's seeking? Once he or she passes that test, then and only then can we talk about the issues.

    Hillary passes the threshold test. Obama does not. His lack of experience, his naive and facile foreign policy views, and his questionable associations will doom his campaign. All the talk of hope and change will not overcome these liabilities.
