maybe he's been there all along, maybe not. I'm not even sure how much I want to meditate on the question, since he's not our next candidate.

the post is more of a cautionary tale I guess...we're goingto be picking a new candidate soon, and we should understand who we support and why.

There are several reasons that we could use to convince ourselves to vote for Hillary, not the least being that I think she'll win, and keep a Mitt Romney or a Rand Paul out of the people's White House.

But is she who we WANT?

If she wins, will we get a replay of the Obama presidency? I really don't want another 8 years of wondering whether our president has our back, or has us backed up to the wall.
