I almost can't believe that, after GWB and Gore and then GWB and Kerry, Americans in both major parties are selecting the best possible candidates. I loved Bill Clinton as much as the next guy but Hill is no Bill.

Personally, not being an American and all that and my opinion being what it is worth not being such, I have never been all that impressed with her. I am not a fan of "statesman like speeches" but instead prefer to see politicos at their most honest and open. Any time she has been talking in an un-prepared, non-speech-written way, she comes across as a bit of an angry snobbish Volvo driving Martha Stewart with a chip on her shoulder. Obama, well, I think he prepares speeches for relative's childrens birthday parties, so he is not any better, just doe not appear to be as angry, or frankly as black as Martha to be honest. I think both are candidates with minds run by committee.

And I must half heartedly disagree with your opinion about who we choose to run for our parties. Everyone in Canada has the ability to pay a party membership fee, take part in riding associations and elect persons to attend the conventions where leaders are chosen if not attend themselves. Problem is that we still have conventions where leaders are chosen where only persons who can afford to leave the family home for five days, not work, pay for hotels, food etc etc can take part. Hence the wealthier party faithful not supporting distance election of candidates.

Solution: pay annual fee, take part and try to change system from within.

I am officially a dufus. I typed the captcha in as my name.. Satisfactory spun IS a good name if I was an artsy MuchMusic type circa 1986.
