switching from edwards
how roads diverge. like our amazon queen, the arbiter of all, I wanted Edwards, and still think he would have been unbeatable in the general. I picked Obama because of the fact that I perceived in him a thread lost since 1968. It remains to be seen if he can remotely approach either of the seminal leaders we lost that spring and summer. Unlike Empress Smith, I found Clinton a failure on health care- a proven failure- and the author of the most artificially inflated resume I've ever seen- and I used to review resumes as part of one of my professions. 35 years of experience, most of it as first lady of something, corporate lawyer for an all white firm, a several year member of the Mall Wart board of directors. If I wanted experience, Dodd and Biden and Richardson each had many times the actual experience Clinton claims as her own. She's a shyster, and, now, a loser. She could have taken the high road, and might well have won. She organized the Penn express, which took a double digit lead all over the country- over twenty points most places at the start of this year- and name recognition no one can buy, and she found a way to lose. By being small. By being phony. By pandering. She lost fair and square. She can gain back some of her lost stature by running the rest of these primaries like an actual Democrat, not a McCain surrogate, and by conceding thereafter with grace, and with determination to see that we take the White House that is rightfully ours for at least the next eight years. PIty she diminished herself. Bleating sheep behind her like Smitty didn't help. But it's all about sexism, isn't it Smith and Wesson Oil?
