Can Hillary blow it?

If her statements and inaction over the past week or so are indicative, yes, yes she can.

For starters, Ms. Clinton seems to be distancing herself from President Obama's foreign policy.  This is strange because a) Clinton's politically strategic vote on the Iraq War probably cost her the last election (I know it cost her my vote); b) Obama looks like Winston Churchill times ten on foreign policy compared to the debacle that was Bush the Lesser; and c) she was an awfully big part of it for four years as our Secretary of State.  And it's not like doing so is going to gain her any republican votes in the 2016 election--if she wins, it'll be because of Democrats.

Needless to say, republican upstart and a man who will never be President, Rand Paul, is already attacking Ms. Clinton as a "warhawk."  How inept must you be when your comments cause a republican to call you, a lifelong Democrat, a hawk?

Notice anything about Ms. Clinton's comments on the uproar in Ferguson, MO?  Of course you didn't--becuase she has said nothing.  How much of a kick in the ass is that to black Americans after they came out in full force to help put the Clintons in the White House?

It's not 1992 or 1996--it's going to be 2016 when the next Presidential election arrives, and the way to win is not to run as republican lite.  The path to victory is to run as a Democrat.  Frankly, I'm really beginning to believe that she might fuck up her chances a second time--she's either inept at Presidential campaigning or just flat doesn't fucking get it.

Either way, Martin O'Malley anyone?  How about Deval Patrick?

Will a real Democrat please run?
