Can we just once admit that we elected the wrong candidate, and replace him after his first, on our ticket, instead of waiting for him to get creamed by the Texas machine?
Please, Ms. Clinton. Run. We need intellectual capacity backed by fight, determination, and a little insider nastiness.
Mr. Obama has taken the unfortunate position of being both politically unambitious and yet attempting to remain above the fray. At some point, this political pacifism is just unwillingness to fight.
This will not be recovered by a sudden election year oscillation of tactics. That would be worse. I'm seeing a campaign that will change directions every month. Every direction but head on.
The republican candidates are idiots. Can we please run a candidate who will say that. And have a plan. A plan they will fight for. And agility.
Oh, by which, I mean a plan that's relevant. I feel a little sick now that the political capital of 2008 was expended on the health care plan, when it perhaps could have been used on structural modifications of greater significance than a health care patch that the insurance companies wrote and which now the right gets political capital pretending to fight, even though that fight is over.
