Hillary for prez

Hillary Clinton announced that she's in the running. Wow! That's like so totally unexpected!

Unfortunately, that pretty much wraps the race. The only thing that stands in the way of a Clinton victory is if a) she self destructs, or b) a real leader is found that is willing to run against her. I wouldn't put money on either of those probabilities.

I should NEVER comment on politics, it is all too complicated for me to grock it fully. BUTT I have to say that the prospect of Hillary Clinton becoming the first female president of the United States, frankly, scares me. I wanted Ann Richards or Barbara Jordan to be the one - but THEY had to up and die! I have to admit for the longest time I wanted Linda Ellerbee, and kinda still do.

I agree with the mindset that career politicians are a large part of today's political woes and HC seems to me to be a great example of just that.

Any female president is going to face the same problem. They have to be tough, so they lose their femininity. We've seen it in Hillary, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and now Nancy Pelosi. They are all destined to turn into bad cliches of Maggie Thatcher given enough time.

Which is about what I expect from a Ms. Clinton white house... It will be really interesting to see who in the old boy's club thinks they can whup her.
