Hillary Clinton

Fine by me if Hillary wants to throw her hat in the ring as a 2008 presidential contender. But I don’t think she can win against John McCain, so I don’t want her to be the Democrat candidate. The only thing that’s relevant in the 2008 election is electability. Can Hillary Clinton win? No. A woman cannot win in 2008. There’s too much testosterone in the air what with the military wanting to run the government, the neocons determined to start more wars and John McCain determined to keep us in Iraq for the next 30 years. Does Hillary have the stuff to make a good president? Yes. But that doesn’t matter. Hillary Clinton cannot win against the formidable gang warfare the GOP will mount to protect its kingdom. However, Russ Feingold is wonderfully electable. Russ Feingold is Jewish, his sister is a rabbi and he’s a twice-divorced single man. In the election of 2008, these qualifications are pure gold in addition to the fact that Feingold is a true-blue, intelligent, ethical, attractive Democrat. Along with the “Had enough?” slogan, a sub-text can be added: Had enough of the traditional married-with-children-Christian-horseshit? Indeed, where has the married-with-children-Christian-president ethos gotten us? Look at the mess we’re in by listening to strategists who have pandered to the 23% of voters who are Christian religious fanatic bigots and warmongers. Feingold has the ca-jones, wit and class to handle mean-spirited GOP detractors who sling mud, tell lies and run campaigns like gangsters in the ‘hood. Would Hillary consider being Feingold’s running mate? Now THAT’S a ticket!
