yeah, could be him, definitely. I do fear that on specifics, hilary will bury him in the debates though. She watched all the black bag ops via pillow talk for 8 years, and has had 6 years to hear Bill's take on everything Bush did. She's been publicly humiliated so her skin is thick - if obama breaks a sweat he's thru.
Hilary did more than just watch & listen. Hilary planned, & strategized with the best of them.
She is very much a political architect in her own right. As much as I love Bill Clinton, even I am not foolish enough to think he did it alone. in his inauguration he clearly stated the American public was getting 2 for the price of one. He wasn't lying. Part of his strength was Hilary's active involvement in government policy issues... whether that role was publicly acknowledged or not. Hilary will not be the first female President your country has known. She was the 2
nd Eleanor Roosevelt was the 1[su]st.[/sup] Hilary was the 2
nd., ...and now she is hoping she will be the 3
rd as well.
politically, she's probably one of the brightest 10 people on the planet. She's had 14 years of listening, as both sides of the aisle see their best and worst moments. Plus she understands how things "really work" as far as long term oil interests, etc.. obama is very JFK-ish in his approach. It's great, I love it, but I know those idealistic, change-oriented people don't win anymore since JFK.
Bright that woman definitely is!
Funny you should mention JFK. I used to think the ideal ticket was Clinton/Kennedy, as in Hilary Clinton for President, John F Kennedy Jr. for VP. That would have been a glorious dynamic duo, ...but it was not to be. Sadly, that dream got shot down over the Atlantic.
As for Barack Obama, I think if everyone voted their conscience, rather than voting for someone they think is a
'winnable' candidate, you'd be surprised how big his support would be. The problem is, people are fearful of wasting their vote. There is no such thing as wasting your vote. Your candidate might not win, ...but it does send a very clear message to those that do that the platforms of a particular candidate had better be considered in policy because it represents a significant portion of the constituency.
