The Garden of the Blind

The one person this year who seems to be saying whatever it takes to make sure that no one else gets elected is Hillary Clinton. My favorite claim that she makes is that she has more experience than Barrack Obama. Let's check that out.

They both have been lawyers. Clinton has had a long history of investments (only a one of which has lead to criminal investigation). Obama has been elected to two different offices in tight races, where he has served for 12 years. Clinton has spent two decades as a married to a political executive (although if she had spent more time with him, it's possible that he'd be remembered differently) and had a senate seat handed to her.

I guess she does have more experience. Then again, his lack of insider connections is one of his selling points. That and how he feels human "emotions" and is driven by things other than an unquenchable desire for power.

I can hardly wait to see which one of them gets to try to beat up an old man. I'm betting on her because the outcome of the primaries is going to end up in the hands of the inner sanctum of party hardliners, and they all love her more. The real question now is, are they going to choose her directly using their superdelegate votes, or are they going to pretend to follow the will of the people by allowing the Florida and Michigan delegates to vote?

Oh the drama!
