Whats sad about this is that instead of considering her a rising star based on her character, competence and accomplishments, that assessment is based on her gender, ethnicity, and checkered past (and willingness to share it for political expediency). Stealing beer and having an abortion are not the bases for hiring someone for any job, much less lieutenant governor of a state. If she isnt elected, though, Im sure theres a spot for her on the Jerry Springer show.
We used to expect more from our candidates for public office.
You are correct, we used to nominate who we thought were the best for the job.
Today, with the liberals it comes down to who's turn is it.
They nominated a black man because he was black and not because of his experience. He wasn't vetted by the press and the low information voters were duped.
Now it's a womans turn to be nominated, the only thing she knows is her way around the white house. Because, she's riding on the coat tails of her husband.
As in the great words of Robert Zimmerman (Bob Dylan for the low information voters),
"The times they are a changing."
