I can virtually guarantee you that he has determined that McCain is much harder to beat than Romney, so he is leaking info that McCain and Hillary are tied at the hip to turn off Republican voters.

I can't stand his tactics (particularly with respect to Obama), but the guy knows how to win.

I wonder though if his prominence might not turn voters off further down the road. Do people, even Dems, really want four more years of the drama that was the Clinton Administration?

Even Jonathan Chait is tired of the Clintons.

If reports about Obama planning on Edwards as AG are true, I'm rooting for Hillary.

If the voting public weren't such complete idiots when it comes to economic matters, Romney would kick Mrs. Clinton's ass in an election.

Bill is proving again that he is the most pure politician this country has ever had. And that is not a compliment.

Clinton, Bill, is all Hillary has. If she had to campaign on her own merits, then she'd be dead in the water. Bill is as dirty as they come, but he's effective, and I imagine people still like him for reasons unknown to me. People voting for Hill are really voting for Bill. I would hope a candidate would use that against her.

I would think that would become a major theme in the general election. How can it not?

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
