5. Yes. On the mark. No one is perfect - and it is hilarious how the same people who tell liberals

that they are letting the perfect get in the way of the good - cannot accept that liberals already know that, and all the little slams at Warren or any other Not Hillary don't work, precisely because we are not letting the perfect get in the way of the good. I guess when you are fed a talking point or meme, you are not fed the logic that says hey, liberals know that, they just don't think Hillary is The Good.

200 advisers trying to come up with Hillary's message. For fuck's sake - don't they see that this means that she is just going to spout whatever rhetoric they think will work on people, and then just continue down the Third Way path?
No matter how she sounds, no GOP voter will vote for her. And, as a woman, I am not swayed by gender. That's another lack of logic - if I don't like Hilary, I am just afraid of powerful women, or am some sort of misogynist, even though I prefer, um, another woman. And the logic there is also a bit faulty - if just being a woman is enough - why didn't McCain/Palin win?

Oh, well. As Manny says, should be a (horrifically) entertaining campaign season. At least, if Hillary is the candidate, she won't need money from us little 99% people.
