Occasionally, we get to take part in some fun politics related activities, and tonight Beth and I got to meet Hillary Clinton!
It was great! She was introduced by Terry McAuliffe, and it was a little strange to see him as her lead man… he kind of came off like a lead in comic that gets the crowd all riled up. Then came up and gave a short speech. I am really excited for the 2008 elections, I think that no matter who gets the nomination, there is a strong field of candidates. Her speech was great, and I think it set a good agenda and tone for her campaign. Now bring on the drama!

cool!
but i hope she doesn’t get nominated. it’d be suicide for the demos. no republican would ever vote for a Clinton….
I am somewhat on the fence about how polarizing she actually is. In her 2000 Senate run, she barely lost the upstate region of New York. In the last election, she carried the heavily republican upstate by a hefty majority… I think she would actually stand a chance, despite what is being reported. I do think Obama is slightly more electable right now, but I would be happy with either of them as the candidate, personally.
