Hillary’s “Electability”

Speaking of Hillary, her opponents and detractors are growing more frustrated every day.



Obama is losing the fresh luster he once had. And Edwards is reduced to arguing electability: that he’s the only Democrat who can carry a red state.



But I don’t think Democrats are looking for freshness or electability. They’re looking for a warrior. They’re looking for a champion to banish the Bush barbarians. They’re looking for a candidate who will take the fight to the “vast right-wing conspiracy.”



There-in lies Hillary’s appeal. Some pundits think it hurts that she reminds people of the political wars of the 90’s. To that contrary, that’s why a lot of Democrats like her. After all, who is more seasoned and battle-scarred than she?
