Whither Hillary?

Seems the national media is having a hissy fit because Hillary Clinton is choosing at this point in her campaign to talk to regular folks like us instead of famous journalists.

And the problem with this is...?

Leaving aside the fact that it's unlikely the journalist vote is going to sweep Secretary Clinton into the White House, one need only look at the republican Presidential candidates botched responses to see why at this juncture perhaps it's best to stick to everyday people.  I mean, Christ, republicans have already seen Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio fall all over themselves to appease their base while denying what's obvious to those of us who aren't a few slices short of a full loaf of bread--the Iraq War was a disaster from beginning to end.  We've also seen the spectacle of Mike Huckabee trying to defend a child molester.

Frankly, I think it's a fine piece of strategy to avoid the chickenshit circus that is the beltway media while earning her props from the citizens who will have the most to do with the success of  a Hillary Clinton Presidency.

And it's just another contrast between the competency of the Democrats and the nincompoopery that is ingrained in the republican party.

Peace,
