Words to live byI treat my writing like a privilege. It comes after editing the work of others and helping children learn proper grammar while developing their own style and voice. It comes after making sure my child's homework is done and making sure she is fed, clothes, and educated. It comes after everything. Scraps of stories and poems languish , missing deadlines and submission dates. There is no room of my own. My writing is interrupted constantly by requests and vacuuming and cries for food and attention and I feel guilty saying no, I am working on something that is mine. Thus I devalue my own work, my own voice. Subscribe Buttons                    | |
That isn't what I meant
That isn't what I meant. When I said "money is the reality", it was implying the obvious, which is that in primaries the candidate who has the most money almost always gets the nomination. This doesn't have to do with policy or goals, just about the art of campaigning. Hillary presumably thinks that if she raises so much more money than the other candidates, and buys the best staff, organization, ads that money can buy, that she'll probably win the nomination. Perhaps its cynical, but did Mondale in '84, Dukakis in '88, Clinton in '92, Gore in '00 win the nomination because they were the best candidates, or because they had each raised far more money than their opponents and spent their way to the nomination?
