Pay Attention

I'm putting a stake in the ground. Not that it matters. And I'm prepared for many "I told you so's" come next summer. But Hillary Clinton will not be the Democratic nominee for president. Just a hunch. She certainly has the money. But there's something disingenous about her. I'm not sure who will get the nod but it shouldn't be her. Edwards is working the outrage angle, at least according to this article. I'm going to suggest he use the following as a campaign slogan: "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention. Though I'm sure some political consultant will talk him out of using it.

And I'm not a traitor for not supporting Hillary. I would no more support a candidate solely because she's female than I would tolerate someone opposing a candidate solely because she's female. Amounts to the same thing in my book.

I've said it before but it's worth repeating: Hillary's a smart woman -- and could leave a legislative legacy for the state of New York and the country that would rival some of the Senate's greatest members. Too bad she's going ruin that too.
