Monday's Washington Whispers piece about Hillary's brothers saying she's readying for a presidential run kicked up this week's Hillary talk. Lots of critics on the left; Chris Bowers answers them point by point. I'm reminded of another Michael Moore comment from his January 6 Today Show appearance:
COURIC: What about Hillary Clinton, do you think she has a chance?Mr.MOORE: What--she's a star. Absolutely she has--absolutely she has a chance.COURIC: Many people think she could not--even if she won the nomination could not win the election because she's so polarizing.Mr. MOORE: I don't--well, talk about polarizing, how about George W. Bush? They don't worry about--they never ask themselves that question. `Geez, I don't know, should we run Bush again? He's kind of polarizing. A lot of people don't like him,' you know? It's like, you know, we--our side has got to knock that off. Hillary Clinton is beloved by millions of Americans. I'm not saying, you know, she should necessarily be the one. But, you know...
I voted for her in New York and she's doing, by most accounts, an outstanding job. I recall her working hard to get elected, running a smart campaign that won over conservative leaning upstate voters. If she wants to run, good for her. She's earned it. If she were to get the nomination, I'd vote for her.
