I actually don't think she'll end up as SoS, but that girl is going places!

It's no secret that I'm not the biggest hillary fan. But the thought that she'd have to pass the torch on to Palin is beyond depressing.

Exactly. It's about taking an existing entity, repackaging it, marketing it, and selling it to the masses.

She lacks Obama's polish and smoothness. She connects with people as well as Mitt, plus she's grating. Isn't she nearing sixty now?

The only reason I can see Obama putting her there is to eliminate her from 2012.

You are the most sexist sexist pig I know. Yes, she turned sixty last year. Your boy Mitt turned sixty last year. What of it?

I think his point was women generally get uglier as they get older while men become, if not more handsome, at least more distinguished looking.

I forgot the part about a woman's worth being her looks, but I think you parsed it out of what I was saying.

Yes, I think I put the two together.

I have to hand it to you, though, I think your interpretation of Arch's comment is spot-on.

It's nothing, we're all pretty much on the same page.

Hutchinson was deemed to old for American politics because of her age, although I am a fan of hers. Is the American voter willing to turn on to a sixty-eight year old, divisive woman with baggage? Could Hillary even feign reaching across the aisle a la Obama? I doubt it.

And Mitt is too old probably for the changing face of American politics. You see sexism where it isn't. Yes I don't like Hillary, but no it has nothing to do with her gender and everything to do with her politics. If Kay couldn't do it, I don't see how Hillary could.
