I was listening to Ellen Kerschner's Sounds of Spirit on NPR this noon. Today she talked about the Borderlands battle between the English and Scots 500 years ago. And how those people have come to this country, especially Appalachia where I live. The high point of the music today was Tammy Wynette's "Stand by Your Man." That brought me right back to the discussions on Culture Kitchen's posts. Much is written about Hillary as candidate, triangulator, and more. She used that song to make her point on 60 Minutes when Bill was having a rough time countering bimbo accusations during the 92 campaign. Although she said on CBS that she didn't see herself like the song (however she phrased it) she learned later about real right wing conspiracy. And the story is just getting started!
I personally don't think Hillary has a good platform, but I would not wish her anything but the best. When men ask me if I'm going to vote for her, I tell them that if I do it will not be because she is a woman. I graduated from the window dressing days.
