I may not be Sean Hannity, but I would still like to suggest a question for your interview this evening on Countdown.
Hillary said she does not agree with the activist base of the Democratic party when it comes to foreign policy.
My question:
What doesn't she agree with us on?
Iraq? Iran? The case against a neo-con foreign policy?
What??
I am becoming terribly frustrated at the lack of control this campaign is showing. And believe me, I am on record as saying it is the best run campaign I have ever witnessed.
I was in New Hampshire this weekend and I have some impressions to share. First, let me say I went as an Edwards supporter and left as one. Unfortunately because of scheduling and lodging I didn’t make it to one of his events. However, I saw Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and I have some observations if anyone is interested.
Recently the Clintons and their surrogates have begun pushing the idea that Hillary Clinton’s time as first lady should be counted as on-the-job training wheels for the presidency of the United States. This includes perpetuating the notion that being the wife of a President counts as foreign policy experience, and prepares someone to handle a global crisis with a steadier hand than someone who has not been First Lady.
(Apparently Barack Obama is unfit to lead because he never gave Diane Sawyer a tour of the White House)
After months of watching, listening, and thinking, I have finally decided to support John Edwards for President.

It's not a holiday I spend a lot of time thinking about, probably because I'm not a veteran and because war hasn't touched my family directly. My father and my grandfather on my mother's side were both veterans of World War II. My father's grandfather was a veteran of World War I, which turns out to be kind of a rare thing because so many of the men who went to fight that war died before having kids. But that's about it. I don't come from a military family or a military town.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Even if you're a fan of either of the Clinton's, I still think you should be aware of the type of influence Lieberman thinks he will have. And more importantly, Karl Rove thinks he will have.
A vote for Lieberman really is a vote for Bush.
I'm sorry world.
