But difficult to put a good, intelligent woman down -- expect Hillary to bounce back. As I've said, Bill Clinton, who was once tagged the "first black president" of the US, is still a vote getting force to reckon with. Pundits are saying on that he's still capable of drawing the black votes for his wife.
Obviously, Hillary will have to work double or treble time to catch up, i.e., attictude change. But at this point, nobody should count her out of the running, not even with the 'catastrophic' survey ratings she's getting a couple days away from the NH primary.
Hilary responded by saying that it is one thing to talk about change and quite another to actual do it, and that she's been doing it for 35 years - and giving some concrete examples that have helped real people in New Hampshire.
Why would you vote for Edwards based on his wordy excerpt here in which he basically endorsed Obama? He is defining himself out of the race.
It's now about Obama rhetoric of change against Clinton track record - and however you might interpret that.
OK -I'm reading a lot into one short exchange, but if this is the bit that is making headlines, then it isn't doing Edwards any favours. Index of Frank's Diaries
By the way, it was you who made me aware that Euro Trib existed when you mentioned it in one of your posts in Charles Bremner's. Thanks -- great idea.
Know what? As far as this space is concerned, we will be very happy if, come nomination time, candidates are narrowed down to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. (Of course, this blog understands that one of them has got to be the running mate of the other after the 'investiture.')
I don't think Hilary will agree to be the VP nominee for anyone. If you've lived in the main house it's hard to move out to the gate lodge! Index of Frank's Diaries
