Ambition Without End

So Hillary makes it official. (Not that it surprised anyone inside the Beltway.)

Seriously though, what is she thinking? I know of no other candidate who is more polarizing. Granted, some people love her. And some people who like her - but they only sort of like her. People who hate her (and being from New York, I've met plenty) - really, really hate her. And while I'm all for having a serious female candidate for president, I can't help but think over and over - what a great Senator for New York she could be, surpassing Moynihan eventually. But she's going to throw all of that away. And will be viewed as the calculating carpetbagger all of her enemies said she was when she ran in 2000.

And why announce now? I'd be more supportive if she'd been honest. She ran in November pledging to serve New York. What a joke.
