Hillary's not Bush-Cheney Lite
She's Kerry-Lite. First she was for the war, now she's against it. She's waffled on abortion and countless other issues. Yes, she's "positioning" herself as a centrist candidate and, to that extent, she's certainly fairly Bush-like (remember when he used to be the moderate center candidate?). We need a candidate who can take strong positions and, more importantly, defend them with vigor. I don't see that in Hillary. I'm sorry. I like her. I voted for her as my senator when I lived in NY, but I don't think she's a good presidential candidate. We don't need another waffling senatorial candidate. We need someone (notice I didn't say 'man') with guts and vision. Someone who can communicate that clearly. Someone who isn't trying to be both a little bit liberal and a little bit conservative. You want a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll? Try Donnie and Marie. If she'd take the spot, I'd offer the second place on the ticket. Bill Richardson is, by far, the most qualified candidate, but his campaign is a mess. Ah, well. So, what would be wrong with a Obama/Clinton ticket?
