Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
After last night's MythBusters, where they tested whether or not an airplane on a conveyor belt can take off, (and it did) there are still lots and lots of people who are vehemently arguing the opposite, even after MythBusters showed it happening, and carefully explained why. I'm amazed at the length people can go to deny something they saw with their own eyes.
It kind of puts the evolution deniers in a new perspective for me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm a weird sort of political junkie, because I enjoy the candidacies, and I enjoy talking/speculating about them. Possibly more so than talking about what kind of president Clinton or Obama would make. Because the qualities that make someone a "good candidate" are not necessarily the qualities that make someone a "good president." And I find that interesting.
I am Tep.
And, honestly, Clinton and Obama have nearly identical policy plans, and neither one has any executive experience. So talking about who would make a better President has to be on the basis of their campaign rhetoric.
(Which, if we're being completely cynical, is driven mostly by "how angry can a black man be on TV before he's scary?" vs "how feminine can a woman be on TV before she's weak?" FEH.)

I am irked when she cites her first lady stuff as experience.
I wouldn't discount that experience at all. It gives her a much better idea of what the job actually is. One (see below) of my biggest fears about Obama is that he doesn't know how to put a good team together, which, in my opinion, is extremely relevant to how you govern. She's seen how it works and lived it every day for eight years.
Also, because of her presence in the White House, she has been pretty thoroughly vetted by the Republican slime machine. My other fear about Obama is what they are going to dig up on him. I think it's fair to say they can come up with something. What can they say about Hillary that's new?
