7. Excellent and spot on!
Edited on Thu Oct-04-07 11:32 PM by tex-wyo-dem
I've been looking for the words to decribe the seeming "popularity" of Hil, and I think you've nailed it: a combination of 1) the media "marketing" her like she's Brit Spears, 2) the name recognition and nostalgia for the "good old days" of her husband's term during relative peace, prosperity and general "good times" for the U.S. Of A 3) the faction who just thinks it would be cool to finally have a woman president and 4) those who don't want to rock the boat too hard.

In my book: Hil = status quo and a continuation of the corporate, war-mongering orgy that has inflicted this country for far too long.

We need a BIG change: someone who is truly a libreal/progressive/populist leader, someone who can really take this country in a more positive direction and Hil ain't it.
