I dream a dream of days gone by
I think it is over for Hillary. Don't get me wrong, I think she is an able leader who could have been a very good President. But I think that her big mistake was "triangulation", playing it safe, taking positions that would offend the least amount of people at the time (IWAR).

So, when it comes down to a battle between her and Obama, who speaks so eloquently about the future and Hill's attempt to belittle the "vision thing" by saying that deeds are more important than words, what then does she have to deliver?

7 years as a Senator from NY- so what major proposals, what legislation in those 7 years can she point to and say, "He (Obama) may be a much better speaker than I, but I have csrried the progressive shield and produced legislation that he can only talk about?"

She's played it safe, never sticking her neck out. "Yes" for IWAR, as far as I am concerned, says it all.

1. I hope you're right. There are no do-overs when it comes to death.

2. Hillary's blase' attitude about the carnage in Iraq is one reason she's not good enough.
