Nancy on Hillary / And the Horse You Rode In On

Nancy Pelosi told me Hillary Clinton will be the next president.

Theoretically, she told everyone that (she was being interviewed by Chris Matthews), but she was looking directly at me. At stake was her credibility and my credulity, and I’m not sure she did all that well; but I did brilliantly – I believed every word.

The question arose when Matthews recalled that in pre-election polls in 1960, even southern and midwestern Protestants tended to say they could vote for John Kennedy, a Catholic. But when they finally got into the voting booth, many democrats in Kentucky and Kansas and other (what are now called) red states couldn’t bring themselves to do it.

So can voters who now say they would willingly vote for a woman actually be counted on to do so?

Pelosi thinks being a woman today is less of a barrier than being a Catholic in Kennedy’s day. She’s a woman and a Catholic and I’m neither, so I have to believe her.

She recalled what Kennedy told a group of Protestant ministers: “What matters is not what kind of religion I believe in but what kind of America I believe in.”

In civilized countries, Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher got elected and did well in the job. In the U.S. today, the blue states could manage that, but the red states?

Who knows? But a filly just won the Belmont. Anything’s possible.

1. That settles it! I guess we can all go home now, no need to vote for anyone other than HRC?

:eyes:

Another Democratic Presidential Primary, another chance for the *political elites* to lead their people off of the proverbial cliff. :(

On Edit: I don't include that disgusting War Horse, Margaret Thatcher, as a positive role model for our young women. She's pure evil. :puke: So we should be proud that HRC swaggers like a man? No, I don't even recognize her as the same woman whom I honestly admired during the 1990s. No more. :thumbsdown:

4. I agree. We do deserve better.

I don't hate Hil, but she is definitely not my first pic for Prez.

5. she would be a rerun of Bill give or take

On the other hand, I thought baby bush would be a C student rerun of Papa Bush.
