I heard Hillary Clinton speak today on behalf of our House candidates

Here's a hint.....she's running for President. Healthy, poised, and with a simple message:

"You shouldn't need to be the grand-daughter of a President to be successful in America."

And the underwriter for Walmart, voter for wars and hostage holder to the Democratic Party when she refused to concede after losing the primary to BO. Where was she, what was she thinking...none of us know. But you are correct she was SOS and a senator to a state that she did live in for some period of time.

Man or woman I don't care. Married does not improve the president. I stand by my concerns. Sorry to disappoint.

Of course, if she really, decisively wanted to drive the point home, she'd have said "You shouldn't need to be the granddaughter of TWO Presidents to be successful in America!"

I think she's going to run, too. She would have called off the dogs at RFH if she wasn't going to run.
