Hillary Clinton promises to be a steady leader that steers the ship a little leftward than it has been going. Give her credit for not over-promising. But is that what you really want?
I'm not naïve. I don't think Barack Obama is going to save the world and change everything we have ever come to know. But he is poised to try a little harder to make a little more change than the same old, same old, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton.
It's unfair to wrap the Clintons up with the Bushes, but we know what we're going to get with Hillary. The same old rabid attack dogs, the same defenses, the same middle ground (except as I explained above, the middle ground has shifted dramatically to the right, so this middle ground would suck) and the same establishment fighting back and forth over familiar terrain.
Obama was right about the most important decision this country had to make in the last eight years and Clinton was wrong. That has to count for something. She tacks right on foreign policy, whether it's Iraq, Iran or whoever else the right-wing is pushing to attack lately. We can't have it.
If there is a secret Hillary Clinton which her record obscures than I can't see her anymore. She is buried in her own triangle.
But the thing is - we do have a choice this time around. We can vote for a difference. I know it's super clichéd, but the reason it has worked is because it has a ring of truth to it ... we can vote for change,
If we choose Hillary, then we have to defend her for the next nine months. I can and I will. But I'd rather play offense. I'd rather talk about how inspirational and hopeful and terrific our candidate is, and honestly, how theirs isn't. It should be the Republicans playing defense this time around. Let's make them.
Let's vote for the guy that history has brought us. We have a chance to pick a once in a lifetime, inspirational, transformational candidate. Are we really going to pass that up?
