Let's nip this in the bud
Democrats are (and should be) thinking of who to run in 2008. I've already stated my preference (Edwards-Obama). We should be open to other possibilities, of course. But one oft discussed candidate should be nipped in the bud now: Hillary Clinton. There is much to like about Hillary, but she would be an awful candidate, and probably a subpar president.
I'm sorry, but anyone who watched the DNC, and the parallel speeches of Bill and Hillary, knows that Hillary is no Bill Clinton. She hasn't the political acumen, the speaking chops, or the ability to make moderate voters feel safe. And she mobilizes the right like the Second Coming. We just can't afford that.
