Why not write a blog post or something on his potential? <br /><br />I've heard it said he's not VP material -- too strong headed. That's why I really wish he had a shot at the top slot. <br /><br />I view Jim as a fuck-you to the Democratic establishment--to their obsession with putting culturally divisive issues ahead of economically uniting ones. He's the rare Dem who has the potential to appeal to the Republican working-class base.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604414.post-72780951924441233962015-04-17T13:34:31.304-04:002015-04-17T13:34:31.304-04:00You might want to take a look at this; Strobe Talb...You might want to take a look at this; Strobe Talbott is Clinton's choice for Sec. of State. <br />He appears to be the origin of bad Russia policy and was Victoria Nuland's mentor:<br /><br />Revisiting the Prophetic Memoir of Clinton's Top Russia Adviser<br />A fresh look at Strobe Talbott’s The Russia Hand: A Memoir of Presidential Diplomacy<br /><br />http://russia-insider.com/en/revisiting-prophetic-memoir-clintons-top-russia-adviser/5747Dojo Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12057645566330892415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604414.post-322342485325239862015-04-17T13:29:24.550-04:002015-04-17T13:29:24.550-04:00Frankly, I think the anger at Citizens United woul...Frankly, I think the anger at <i>Citizens United</i> would be better directed at <i>Buckley</i>, which first established the dubious equivalence of money and speech and has crippled every effort at finance reform ever since.

Another story today about machines used in elections in more than one state turning out to be trivially hacked into, with weak wifi encryption and easily guessed, hard coded passwords like "admin" and "shoup" (AVS were formerly Shouptronic).<br /><br /><br />Stephen Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11310986776169327671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604414.post-287058541699795302015-04-16T16:57:21.180-04:002015-04-16T16:57:21.180-04:00The PTB don't hate her, Joe, they just need to...The PTB don't hate her, Joe, they just need to maintain the illusion that they do so that they can effectively divide the population and drive would-be progressive and/or liberal voters towards the Clinton, Inc. ticket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
