Andrew Sullivan sums up Hillary Clinton’s “distinguished record” and disintegrating presidential campaign nicely:
The record is that the senator’s one single attempt at policy implementation – healthcare reform – was an enormous failure in which her own arrogance, secrecy and paranoia derailed universal healthcare for a decade. On the most critical foreign policy decision of her career, Iraq, she was disastrously wrong. And in terms of management experience, she clearly can’t run even a campaign half-way competently. I think she’d be better off asking people to take a leap of faith, don’t you?
Yup.

The latest round of feigned indignation and foot stamping does little to ease her reputation for shrill behavior when crossed. She has a history of wanting to cherry pick essential parts of a situation to bolster her argument and expecting us to turn a blind eye to the rest. She had just stressed in the last debate how the system would be gamed if we weren’t REQUIRED to pay health care premiums and now cries foul when Barack plays that back.
Bottom line for me … would she even be a Senator had she not been a former First Lady? I think not. And being a mediocre Senator certainly doesn’t qualify her to be President.

Good and concise, post and comment.
Question:
Will Sen. Clinton be the Ralph Nader of 2000 in 2008?
He can’t do it anymore. He has no public esteem left.
But Sen. Clinton can. She’s always right and will forge ahead, regardless. But to the bitter, catastrophic end?
