Much eye~ma, d.

I'm iffy about a Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton ticket. Bill Richardson's kind of interesting. Anyone heard much of anything about him?

From my cushy blue-state perspective, I'm really glad Hillary's running. I think her "unelectable because people hate her" problem will deflate a little over the course of the campaign as more of that demographic sees her in person, speaking directly to them. She's not quite Bill in terms of getting people to like her just by showing up, but she really is a hell of a good campaigner. And she's been practicing on the upstate NY conservatives for years now.

The only downside I can see to Hillary throwing her name in is it means Al Gore probably won't run unless she backs out. I just can't see him running against her.

Matilda's starting to look like a Greatest Hits of Hec and JZ in terms of her looks. She's utterly gorgeous.

And just think! In a year or a year and a half, she'll be climbing up on you and demanding "Baby songs! More baby songs!"

Confirming the Plei hotness and the Matilda/Emmett cutness. Damn, I'm going to fill up my hard drive with just pictures of beautiful people I know.

I think Hillary can win the Democratic nomination hands down. Whether or not she can win the Presidency I'm withholding any prediction until she's been on the stump for a while. I want to see how she handles the more conservative crowds she's going to meet up with in the Bible belt and the working class stiffs who vote Republican becaust they're sure it will mean lower taxes for them.

Adorable Matilda and entire extende Zmayhem clan! Lovely pictures.

I don't know if I think she's unelectable, either. I just think it will be four more years of hate (not from her, at her) if she gets in. And maybe that will be the case with anyone. Maybe that's what we are. Part of me thinks we turned a corner and can't back up, during the 1988 campaign, and things will always be this ugly, from here on out.

Something bit me three times. In my cleavage. Conveniently they aren't horribly itchy but what if I wanted to wear something slutty sexy today? I mean, should I ever crawl out of my fluffy robe.

Oh, to be a creepy crawly...

I live in the reddest of red states (Utah), and I personally know people who honestly, seriously believe that Bill Clinton not being thrown out of office was a sign of Satan's influence in government. Otherwise sensible people nod knowingly to each other and say "It's a sign of the end times." They weren't just annoyed by the Demos taking over the House and (mostly) the Senate, they were frightened.

They're as much likely to pause and thoughtfully consider Hilary's campaigning as I am likely to donate to James Phelps.

I find said creepy crawly? It's gonna get the squishie of its life. The final squishie.

Which would be less disturbing if I weren't now earwormed with Europe. Damn the '80s.
