Deep election thoughts . . . by jimi

It's not over, of course, but it seems all but certain that it will be Obama and McCain. Some random thoughts . . . this was supposed to be Hillary's year. She became a senator, waited, and was poised to become President. Particularly after the 2006 elections, it was to be a shoo in. Now it all seems lost.

This has to be a huge blow to her plans and to her ego. If McCain gets in, she could have a chance in another 4 years. But, if Obama gets in, it could be 8 years until she has a real chance again. By then, she will be, particularly because she's a woman, too old. So, this is it. Which is why she has started pulling out all the stops in her campaign. She has little chance, but there is a chance. And as long as there's a chance she will use whatever means necessary to get that nomination.

And what does she do if she loses? Well, she goes back to the senate, of course. But she'll find herself in the position of having to cozy up to the man (if it's Obama) who stole her dreams. Jinkies. That's gotta hurt.
