Thoughts about the Conventions

I know this is a green blog but I just have to give a shout out to my former fav Presidential candidate, Senator Hillary Clinton. As a woman, I can really appreciate her accomplishments, especially as a champion for the rights of women and children. She has the unique ability to understand the needs of our nation, government and world, all while raising (quite successfully I might add) a lovely daughter. She delivered a kick-butt speech to the Democratic delegates last month and I am sorry to see her off the ticket, as I'm sure many others are as well. I smell a prominent cabinet position, probably related to universal health care, and a campaign debt reduction deal to boot. Thankfully, the party seems fully committed to reducing our dependence on foreign oil and developing green collar jobs and that guy, Barack is not such a bad choice either. He may be a "freshman" but he seems to exercise good judgment when important decisions need to be made. His selection of a running mate certainly helped combat his weaknesses of lack of experience and foreign policy. Anyway, with or without Hillary, he's a heck of a lot better than the crypt keeper and his freshman.
