Well known Barack Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau, known to most Kossacks, just wrote a smart article putting it on the line. He adds his own experience working with Hillary Clinton during her cabinet days, which he says transformed his opinion about her, once negative. But his key point — as crucial as it was for Obama to win in 2008, it is even more important that she be elected this year.
Key paragraph, but the whole article is worth a read —
At stake in this election is control of a Tea Party-run Congress, at least one Supreme Court vacancy that could tip the balance for a generation, and the very real chance that a highly unstable demagogue could become the 45th President of the United States. So while I may not have imagined myself saying this a few years ago, I certainly believe it now: It’s far more important to elect Hillary Clinton in 2016 than it was to elect Barack Obama in 2008.
