Clinton v. Obama

Except this week, it isn't Hillary.

My favourite show is "this week" with George Stephanopolous. This week, "This Week" had Mr. Obama on for the better part of 30 minutes. During that 30 minutes, he was asked questions - none of them were about Hillary.

On the expert panel, it wasn't Obama v. Hillary. It was Obama v. the Clintons.

For TWO YEARS I have lamented the perils to feminism of having the first "real shot" candidate being so closely tied to another person and their legacy. It is now, in very real terms, no longer just about Hillary.

Of course, for the past week, I am not sure Bill has been much help. I haven't seen a hatchet man like this since Bob Dole. Of course, as a result, Hillary is unfairly spun as the Tammy Wynette of Politics standing behind, not by, her man.
