Instant CongressWords to live byI assume Hillary will win the presidency. I find myself going through an involuntary process of accommodation to the idea. That is an advantage of emerging as the inevitable nominee so early. On the other hand, a year from now, she'll still be hovering around, not achieving anything, but just being what she always was, the inevitable nominee. That's going to be really boring.

Oh, and one other thing -- I
Oh, and one other thing -- I have a "rational" problem with glorifying the counsel of "those who have been there" because it's inevitably so selective -- the only ones any of us ever glorify are the selected ones we agree with, and then we find various reasons to trash the ones whose politics we can't stomach.
This cuts both ways of course, against those who hate the Swiftboaters and those who hate Kerry. And whatever one thinks of George W. Bush, I believe he did serve during wartime, unlike Bill Clinton? They all served and pretty much together during the same armed conflict and with similar risks and rewards at stake both personally and for the country, yet drew opposite conclusions from their experiences -- so that common service wasn't common at all, and can't possibly be the relevant factor that automatically makes their politics trump the rest of us who didn't -- can it?
