HRC

One of my pals, a two-time W voter (???!!??), has since switched allegiances to Obama and company. His wonderful reversal has been fascinating to watch, although I think I've only caught the tail-end of it, and is a credit to his good sense. He still adheres to certain conservative opinions but does so honestly and with reason. Anyway he's taken to calling Hillary R. Clinton, Hillary "Republican" Clinton, and swears he will abstain from voting if it comes down to her V. McCain.

I have done my best to maintain support for her should she somehow gain the nomination but her recent irresponsibly bellicose comments about Iran and ill-conceived gas-tax holiday have sadly made her nickname all too apt. Like woe. On the gas tax thing: it seems almost unanimous that this it is a terrible idea and TPM thinks it might even further enrich the bogeyman oil companies.
