There's the real question, isn't it? Perhaps (I hope) this country is ready to accept a woman president. I'm just not sure that the country is ready to accept
Hillary as that woman president. The
first woman president. Can the Democratic party afford to experiment with that right now?
The Democrats need to be very careful here, regarding who they offer up to the public in 2008. In my opinion, they got cocky in 2004 when they nominated John Kerrey. The seemed to think that
anyone was going to be able to wad Bush up like like piece of junk mail and toss him in the recycling pile. Well, we
see what happened there. Are they going to be so quick to make that mistake again?
