On a certain level I don't "get" what Hillary is trying to do. My guess is that her campaign thought she was a shoe-in - so they thought she could be conservative in the primaries to avoid damage in the general. I think they made a huge miscalculation of what it will take to win the primaries - but we'll see. Hi Rob,

Although, I think the most compelling thing about Barack Obama is his vision of American potential. He always brings me back to Clinton's quote, "There's nothing wrong with America that can't be fixed by what's right with America." We haven't had any leadership with the willingness to embrace <i>everyone</i> and help them find a way to build something great in a while. You'd have thought Hillary would have come out with the same message, too. Go figure. Nice catch. Although, I think the most compelling thing about Barack Obama is his vision of American potential.
