...without Bill Clinton, Hillary would have been a waitress at a Chicago diner.

Well so what, you can say that about almost any prominent person. If his last name were not Bush, W. would be any trailer trash drunk.

I agree with your concern about Hillary Clinton winning in 2008 brings about hereditary rule in America. Thirty years of Clinton and Bush rule is not democracy.

Your last two lines seems to be very interesting.But from my view,she is the right choice for the situation like this and it is nothing wrong in utilizing her husband fame for her victory... car insurance comparison

Alex, I am not sure if you supported the shrub or not but if you did then you too are open to the charge of hypocrisy.

In 2000, I voted for Harry Browne, and in 2004 I voted "None of the Above", but would have voted Kerry had I not resided in a no-question red state (Kansas).

This is not as Sullivan indicates, Hillary Clinton deferring to a man. Rather, this is, simply put, the acknowledgment that without Bill Clinton Hillary would have been a waitress at a Chicago diner. True, she seems able to maneuver within political circles, but many, who never had those chances that Hillary Clinton has had, show those qualities. Becoming, perhaps, shift supervisors at the diner.

I am not sure, that someone else in her position, would find her accomplishments so dimmed as Hillary Clinton has. After all, we have each of us in our own lives made accomplishments that we would not have been able to make without someones help. On that basis, it might be fairly said, that we would not be where we are today, without their help. Statistically speaking there's about a 5050 chance of that someone, being a man.

But...What kind of man? Think about this: The reason that Hillary Clinton owes her current situation to her husband, is such a negative, is because Bill Clinton himself was such a spectacular failure. This, apparently, is something that even Sullivan tacitly, and perhaps unknowingly, admits.

a Clinton victory means that for over 20 years–and potentially close to 30–the Office of the President will be occupied by a representative from one of two families.

Indeed, GHWB took office January 21, 1989 and GWB will leave on January 21, 2009. That's twenty years already. Rather remarkable, really. Given that the elections are free and open, though, I'm not sure that it's per se unhealthy.

Ken, your obvious BDS is showing again. Go figure. I just wonder what Hillary will charge for the sleepover in the Lincoln bedroom if she were to gain the Presidency? I read somewhere Bill charged about $50K, in dontations ofcourse. Hillary is not a feminist, she is a communist. After all, it takes a village.

oops, I see James is not responsible for the post.

... a Clinton victory means that for over 20 years–and potentially close to 30–the Office of the President will be occupied by a representative from one of two families. That’s simply not healthy for a democratic society.

James you were warned about this before with the Shrub. And now all of a sudden we are to believe you are sincerely concerned?

Anyway, Clinton is certainly better for America than any Republican so what choice does any patriot have but to vote for her?
