Hillary Clinton: madwoman?
Larry David hits the nail on the head in a column for The Huffington Post. He helped me figure out why it is I think Hillary Clinton is so very wrong for the presidency: she wants it far too much.
And then he proceeds to explain in two sentences the essential difference between her and Obama, and at the same time ask the question we should all be answering:
“How is it that she became the one who’s perceived as more equipped to answer that 3 a.m. call than the unflappable Obama? He, with the ice in his veins, who doesn’t panic when he’s losing or get too giddy when he’s winning, who’s as comfortable in his own skin as she’s uncomfortable in hers.”
He must see the same things in Hillary that I do, for though his comments made me laugh, they have such a truth about them that it makes me sad as well:
“There have been times in this campaign when she seemed so unhinged that I worried she’d actually kill herself if she lost. Every day, she reminds me more and more of Adele H., who also had an obsession that drove her insane.”
Read Larry’s comments. The article is very short, with the kind of brevity I strive for.
What was going through the minds of voters in Rhode Island, Texas, and Ohio, I don’t know, but they must not actually try to watch and listen to the candidates. Unless Rush Limbaugh’s exhortation to Republicans actually had an effect?

Many, many women want HC simply because she’s a woman. They don’t care what she says or does.
Pretty sad that they do, and I don’t really understand it. I don’t vote for someone because they’re a white male. And voters who vote for Obama simply because he’s black aren’t doing anyone any favors.
Personally, I am not a fan of a lot of the positions Clinton or Obama espouse, but against McCain or Clinton, Obama seems positively brilliant and incorruptible. Plus he’s not appealing to base instincts like they are. See Ariana Huffington today regarding appealing to the lizard brain.
