This is the problem with the Democrats: in a year when they could have nominated a quality centrist candidate, attracted a majority of the voting populous, and won the White House in a walk, they instead split between a grossly inexperiened progressive new style liberal in Obama and much-maligned old style liberal in Clinton. No matter who wins the nomination, they stand to repeat McGovern’s ‘72 landslide loss.

She thought it was the right thing to do for her career.

“She joined the Senate Armed Services Committee and voted in favor of the Iraq War, believing she would avoid the dilemma which faced Democrats who voted against the first Iraq war.”

I can’t stand Hillary, but is it not possible that she voted in favor of the Iraq War because she thought it the right thing to do?

I know she’s shifty as hell, but it certainly is possible.

Barack Obama has never had to fight for anything, so it’s not a surprise that he’s not good at it. The Democrats made him the keynote speaker at the 2004 convention when he was a state legislator. After winning election to the Senate against virtually no opposition, he decided that he was fit to be President.

He’s been on the fast track his whole adult life. This is the first time he’s come under serious fire. If he can’t take the heat from the most unpopular national political figure and a still very sympathetic press, he’s going to melt under real pressure, despite his reputation as Joe Cool.

When young women want to describe a male who behaved in a dishonorable or shameful manner, they say “he did a Baldwin.” In Alex’s defense, the comment is meant to apply to all his brothers, not just him.

MarkJ–

Actually this speech by Baldwin illustrates all too well what is wrong with the left today. Yes, Baldwin can make these make-believe scripted speeches, full of false bravado but, in real life, he is just a pathetic loud mouth; brave when he talks to like minded lefties and full of venom for all those to his right he despises, but not so brave when it comes to action. In particular I refer to his often spoken contempt for GWB and his vow to move overseas if Bush were elected. Well, Bush was elected and Baldwin, inexplicably, is still here and still spouting his usual mindless Hollywood venom.

I think Obama merely needs to take a few cues from Alec “Are You Man Enough?” Baldwin….

Now we’re getting down to the nitty-gritty. If Obama really believes his dreamy rhetoric will have any effect in the real world, the country is in worse shape than we think. That means the Ivy League schools where he and his wife matriculated and supply our “leaders” have have become totally unmoored to any semblance of reality and float in a kind of feel-good blissful state where dialogue is all that’s necessary to overcome difficult problems. Remember George W. Bush staring into Putin’s baby blues and finding his soul. Look forward to more of that from Obama. Hillary has already demonstrated she’s a pushover for a strong-willed man. So if Democrats win, we’ll be unmanned. Perhaps the Harvard faculty that pushed out a president for suggesting that might be differences in the genders will have answers. If not, maybe their Yale counterparts do. Isn’t it time for Departments of Masculine Studies?

I just checked out Tannen’s piece that you linked to. To me, it’s entirely possible that Hillary Clinton is, at the same time (1) somewhat disadvantaged by societal attitudes toward women and their behavior, and (2) a ruthless socialist out to remake America on socialist lines. His public manner aside, I sense that Obama also fits (2). Americans would be best served by refusing to be mesmerized by symbolism and victimology—and rejecting them both.
