Somehow, it’s appropriate that Hillary
is part of the Seven Sisters.

No, not THAT meaning. I’m referring to
the way-out-there-in-space constellation.

Mr. Tumulty: Despite my (admittedly) minor objections to some of the prose, this is an interesting blog article, juxtaposing the different attitudes at UNH and Wellesley. The UNH students seem to be generally more practical. open, and reasonable in viewpoint than the ideologues at the Seven Sisters school. I don’t know exactly what that tells us, but it makes one think.

Mrs. Clinton will say anything to win. The irony of her campaign is that if she were Hillary Rodham, she would be a nonentity. Contrast that with her hostility toward “the boys’ club.”

Watch out for those whose thirst for the presidency overrides any semblance of sincerety or good judgment.

The presidency “chose” Harry S Truman and Gerald R. Ford, who proved themselves to be competent and above petty politics. The nation “chose” Ronald W. Reagan—- and, later, William J. Clinton. All four men were capable chief executives of a polyglot, diverse nation, at challenging times.

Hunger for the presidency is something voters should beware when looking at a candidate. Hunger to do what’s right for our country, at the expense of one’s ego, is a much more admirable quality, as Abraham Lincoln proved.

WHRE DOES ANDREA STAND ON SPITZER’S REVISED PLAN? THE JOURNAL NEWS CALLED HER EARLY IN THE WEEK BUT SHE NEVER RESPONDED TO THEM.

Most of what I’ve seen reported about this
day, on several broadcasts, concerned Hillary
trying to play the “gender
card” and turn herself into a female victim after
the fallout from the illegals-licensing
mess she created.

But that news has not been reported on this blog,
which could be known as “Hillary on the Hudson.”

I am still confused about “electibility” issue. Atleast we know that clinton machinery can trounce right wing conspiracy’s, attacks and spins. Edwards lost a debate to dick cheney for crying out loud. He came out as snarly and two faced especially when he took cheap shots at dick cheneys daughter.
Obama has not even been battle tested. I was reading that he had overwhelming 80+ % of positive press coverage in initial stages (which is 49% now with remaining “neutral”) and Hillary has had 29% positive coverage. Thats only because all the republican machinery is working against her. Wait till how it will respond once Mr. Obama is the nominee. George Bush was a much bigger rock star and fund raiser than Obama can ever dream to be, yet was he the best choice? What has Mr. Obama run? What is his resume? Other than hope, which is like an olive branch too high to catch, what does he offer? He has yet to explain to me if he will be firs president to authorize nuclear war with Pakistan as he claims he would do. What next? Will he play kid gloves with iran and call all middle east leaders conference to tackle iran? How many has bush called. To the record, Bush has called6 till date, and Iran hasnt gone undiscussed in every one of those, besides in meetings with other foriegn leaders. What else would Obama do? Arguably, sanctions were the reason which kept saddam from developing weapons of mass destruction, sanctions caused libya to espouse nuclear dreams, north korea has come close to giving up its nuclear ambitions primarily because of sanctions.. What is Mr. Obama’s policy to deal with iran besides calling a conference. What is his policy on dealing with Darfur. What is his policy on Healthcare. Can he deflect republican machinery ads like “Call me harrol” which resonate in deep country. Its nasty in politics out there and I believe, Hillary can do a better job than frontrunners out there if she keeps it going.

She did not have the “distinction of being the first student speaker at commencement.” She may have had the distinction of being the first alumna speaker at commencement.

She is an alumna, not an alumnus. Whether or not she is “distinguished” is the argument yet to be decided.
