Judging from complaints by her minions, Hillary Clinton considers it unfair that Barack Obama has been wafted close to the pinnacle of politics by an updraft from the continentwide swoon of millions of Democrats and much of the media brought on by his Delphic utterances such as "We are the change." But disquisitions on fairness are unpersuasive coming from someone from Illinois or Arkansas whose marriage enabled her to treat New York as her home, and the Senate as an entry-level electoral office (only 12 of today's senators have been elected to no other office) and a steppingstone to the presidency. ...more

Super Tuesday, Super Bowl, anything for our great pleasure, is stated "Super." The final Democratic debate on Thursday night before Super Tuesday, had that kind of ambiance to it. I thought I might have the wrong channel; I expected Oprah to appear to host the show. It truly was a "Super" setting for the Democrats in their final debate before Tuesday, when many states will have their primaries including the state of California. So, since CNN was the sponsor and the Kodak Theater the place, why not have the best showing for the viewing audience. After all, this is for Hillary and Obama and this is Hollywood. CNN planned this to the "T". Wow, what a show! The rival candidates were so lovely-dovey I expected them to kiss. The audience almost looked like Oscar night was taking place and open applause was granted; something usually frowned upon during political debates. The questions? Well, we sure got the candidates' views on health care while other questions were debated quickly. By now, one knew which party CNN was promoting. I'll bet that the candidates had a review as to their past performances cutting each other to the bone to get votes. Hey, who am I to judge. We all have the right to change, except Romney. ...more
